ARMY DRUG MADE ME WANT TO KILL WIFE

EXCLUSIVE: Horrific side-effects of malaria pill torture our brave soldiers

- BY SYLVIA POWNALL

IRISH soldiers given a controvers­ial anti-malaria drug revealed yesterday how it made them want to kill their loved ones – and themselves.

They were prescribed Lariam though it is no longer available in our pharmacies. Ex-soldier Anthony Moore, 50, still suffers side-effects after taking it during tours abroad.

The dad-of-three said: “I went into a different person, it was like Jekyll and Hyde. I went blank. All I could see was grabbing a knife.”

A DOCTOR who was forced to quit after sexual harassment allegation­s has shot dead one former colleague and left six others critically injured in a New York hospital.

Dr Henry Bello, 45, is said to have threatened to kill co-workers at the Bronx Lebanon Hospital with an AM-15 assault rifle tucked under his lab coat before opening fire.

Officials said Bello then shot himself and collapsed and died with the rifle at his side. Detectives are trying to piece together what prompted Bello to snap two years after he was forced out, and whether he was hunting for someone in particular when he went to the 16th floor of the building and started shooting.

His victims, who suffered gunshot wounds to the liver, head, chest and abdomen,

Henry Bello are expected to survive. The city’s mayor Bill de Blasio ruled out terrorism and said: “This was a horrible situation unfolding in a place that people associated with care and comfort, a situation that came out of nowhere.” Dr Maureen Kwankham told the Daily News: “We fired him because he was kind of crazy. He promised to come back and kill us then.”
