A 13-YEAR-OLD girl from Guang’an, China, jumped to her death after her grandmother “arranged” for her to be raped by a feng shui master, reported Kwong Wah Yit Poh.

The girl, who had been staying with her grandmother as her parents were working in another city, was found lying in a pool of blood on July 12.

Police investigations revealed that the superstitious grandmother had brought the girl to see the man several times as she was always sick.

During one of the “treatments” in May, the man told the grandmother that he would be able to “cure” the girl if he had sex with her.

The grandmother agreed and, together with the man, brought the girl to a jungle where she was raped.

The teenager had been depressed since the incident and left four notes and two voice mails before killing herself.

Police have since detained the grandmother and the man for further investigation.

A FARMER in India refused to sell one of his cows even after being offered a staggering RM2mil, reported Malaysia Nanban.

Munnah Singh owns a cattle farm in Madya Pradesh state with about 100 cows.

The five-year-old cow bought from a neighbouring state now weighs about 1,000kg and produces up to 30 litres of milk a day.

Many people in the area are apparently keen to buy the animal named Heera and had made multiple offers to the farmer.

But the farmer refused, including the latest enormous offer from a businessman from another city.

The farmer believed his luck changed and his farm became successful as a result of owning the cow.

SHANGHAI – China health authorities have started a nationwide inspection of vaccinations four months after a scandal broke involving nearly US$90 million (S$122.3 million) worth of illegal vaccines that were suspected of being sold in dozens of provinces.

Authorities will track purchases as well as the distribution of vaccines and vaccination records, to ensure they are legally traded and properly handled and used, the National Health and Family Planning Commission said in a statement published online.

Random checks will be conducted at 20 per cent of hospitals and clinics providing vaccinations, while all disease control and prevention agencies nationwide will be inspected, it said.

In March, authorities pledged to crack down on the black market sale of vaccines after a mother and daughter in Shandong province were found to have illegally bought vaccines from traders and sold on to hundreds of re-sellers around China.

The vaccines, which police said were made by licensed producers, were not kept and transported in the required cold conditions, which could mean that patients taking them could suffer severe side effects or even death.

Hong Kong limited the number of non-resident children getting vaccinations at government clinics there after the scare raised fears that mainland families would go to the city for inoculations and put pressure on supplies.
