POLICE in south China's Guangdong Province have detained a father and a grandfather who allegedly hired people to bury alive newborn twin girls because they couldn't afford to treat the babies' heart disease and mental disorder.
The seven-day-old babies are now being treated in two separate incubators at a maternity and children's hospital in Puning County after being sent there by a woman surnamed Li on October 1, reported today's Yangcheng Evening News.
Weighing roughly 1.2 kilograms, the babies were diagnosed with pneumonia, congenital heart disease and having the possibility of developing mental illness in the future.
Li, who runs a small business, had struggled to cover the medical fee of more than 18,400 yuan (US$ 2,759) with her family savings and donations from other villagers.
The doctors told Li it would take at least 100,000 yuan to cure the diseases, which is equivalent to years of the average earnings of a local family and it also led the girl's biological father to desert them.
