Father gets death for slaying doctor

A father from Shandong province whose newborn daughter died in a hospital has been sentenced to death for killing the doctor who treated her.

Chen Jianli, 30, was convicted of the intentional homicide of pediatrician Li Baohua at Laiwu Intermediate People's Court.

"He stabbed the doctor to vent his anger in a public place and used cruel means to kill innocent medical personnel, resulting in great harm to people's personal safety and a negative social impact. We have given him the death penalty," the court said in a statement on Sunday.
