‘He has destroyed my life’: Chinese doctor who claims her physician ex-husband poisoned her into disability gets day in court — 6 years on
- Six years after she first alleged her physician husband poisoned her, a doctor in eastern China gets her day in court
- Woman claims husband gave her drugs that have ruined her life after wrongly suspecting her of having an affair
A Chinese doctor who claims she was slowly poisoned to the point of disability by her husband – who is also a doctor – over alleged infidelity has finally got her day in court.
Six years after the woman made her original allegations, the private hearing which opened on January 11 in China’s eastern province of Shandong, has attracted national attention.
The alleged victim, Liu Chang, published several posts on social media in 2019 accusing her husband, Gao Zhisen, of poisoning her with hormone-based drugs from 2016 onwards, causing her physical disability and second-degree serious injury.
On January 9, Liu told the media that Gao will be tried for intentional injury.
“I have become disabled and severely depressed because of this incident, he has destroyed my life,” she said.
