Father ‘killed daughter for copying’
Print Edition
A FATHER in eastern China has been detained after he had beaten his 11-year-old daughter to death, reportedly for copying a classmate’s homework.
The father “ordered the girl to kneel down, tied her hands and beat her,” Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
He took his daughter to hospital after she stopped breathing but she died the next day.
Hospital doctors in Hangzhou City found bruises and injuries on the girl’s neck and back and signs that she had been choked for as long as five minutes.
The incident is the latest in a series of child abuse incidents in China that have drawn widespread outrage.
This month, graphic photographs of a 10-year-old boy in southern China’s Guangdong Province allegedly beaten by his stepmother went viral on social media, prompting calls for stricter laws against child abuse.
Last year, a 6-year-old boy in the northern Chinese province of Shanxi was found near his home covered in blood and with his eyes removed.
The boy’s aunt, a suspect in the case, killed herself days later.
