Dad inserted needles into baby, insider says
Online Edition
THE father of a baby girl who had four needles inserted into her body in two incidents in two weeks has been identified as the culprit by an anonymous insider, though police have not confirmed the account, according to a report published by the People’s Daily website today.
The report said the insider alleged that Yin Zhihe had confessed to police in north China’s Heilongjiang Province that he was driven by a suspicion that the baby was not his and inserted the needles into the two-month-old girl’s body.
Yin said he had fertility problems and underwent treatment. After he recovered, his wife, Li Mingyang, got pregnant, but he suspected the child wasn’t his, the report said. He refused Li’s demand for a DNA test to prove her faithfulness and he targeted the baby after they quarreled, the insider alleged.
The girl was initially hospitalized with a needle in her body on August 5. The needle was removed and her family didn’t call police at the time since she wasn’t critically injured.
The case made big headlines when the girl was rushed to hospital again on August 18 in the provincial capital of Harbin and an examination found three needles had pierced her liver and a kidney. She was sent into surgery and then to the intensive care unit.
The girl was transferred to a ward yesterday afternoon. Xu Zhilin, a pediatrician with Harbin Children’s Hospital, said she is out of danger. If she doesn’t get an infection, she shouldn’t have any lingering effects, Xu said.
Police said Yin voluntarily cooperated with police, helping them to reach a breakthrough. But they refused to comment on the published account.
