Carer beats elderly lady

A carer, who beat a 75-year-old woman she was paid to look after, was detained for 15 days and fined 25,000 yuan on Friday, the Beijing News reported.

The carer was hired in September but aroused suspicion after the lady started complaining of pain and became psychologically unbalanced. The children of the woman installed a surveillance camera in her home and filmed the carer being abusive.
