POLICE in central China have detained a man for allegedly poisoning his son because he couldn't afford to pay his tuition.
The 21-year-old man Wu Fei remained in a coma and has been transferred to a low-cost hospital in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, because the family couldn't bear the medical fee, Wuhan Evening News reported yesterday.
His father secretly put seven packs of rat poison into Wu's meal after he came home for summer vacation from Wuhan Institute of Shipbuilding Technology on July 9.
The father said he felt desperate about Wu's tuition next term, since the family already had debts of 40,000 yuan (US$5,904) for his two sons' college education.
His elder son Wu Feng, who now works in Guangdong Province and earns 1,200 yuan a month, said the family is living with help from relatives now, and his younger brother's sickness was an added burden.
Wu Feng also said his father had a history of mental illness and had to be locked at home when his mother went out to work.
Even before the two sons enrolled in college, the family lived on farming and could hardly make ends meet. The mother sometimes worked as a cleaner in restaurants, while the father sold and repaired umbrellas on the street.
