18-year-old charged with murder of doctors

AN 18-year-old man charged with murder stood on trial today for attacking medical staffs in a hospital in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, in March, resulting in one dead and three injured.
The suspect Li Mengnan, was trialed at Harbin Intermediate People's Court this morning, China National Radio reported.
Prosecutors said Li, a native from north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, broke into the office of the rheumatism immunity department of the No. 1 Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University with a knife about 5pm on March 22 and attacked the doctors there.
Wang Hao, a 28-year-old intern doctor was killed as Li slashed his neck with the knife. Three other medical staffs were injured, the court heard.
In earlier investigations, Li said he held a grudge about his medical treatment at the hospital and carried out the attack for revenge.
Wang's parents raised a compensation demand of 864,400 yuan (US$135,292) in the court.
Prosecutors didn't call for a specific sentence but said Li could receive a lighter sentence as he was under 18 when he committed the crime. Li just celebrated his 18th birthday in May, two months after the attack.
The court didn't announce a verdict today.
