A mentally-challenged Chinese man was today sentenced to life imprisonment for a fatal assault at a hospital in Anhui Province last year in which one nurse was killed and four others were injured.
Cai Chunfeng, 42, committed the crime of intentional homicide when he stabbed medical staff members on November 13, 2012 at the hospital of Anhui Medical University, according to the Hefei Intermediate People's Court.
Cai was suspicious of the medical staff as he felt uncomfortable after receiving an enema and skin test before an operation, the court said.
