An overseas ‘DOCTOR’ claims her visa to work in the UK and gives fake acupunc-ture treatment, resulting in the death of 10 people. A young acupuncturist in prac-

tise claimed her visa to work in the UK legally for 5 years. The 25 year old moved to Britain in 2004 and started her career in a practise clinic to meet patients

in need and promoted her own remedies she bought over from Japan. Employers of Sue Sun were unaware of this and claimed that she was an honest and loyal employee who would put a lot of effort in curing and comforting their patients in distress. She often volunteered to help

the elderly up and down the stairs and offered to help massage

patients while they were waiting to see the doctor. During her 5 years visit, she handed out her own business card to patients and told them to give her a call whenever they felt like they needed to relax. Many patients claimed that they visited her home but later left and didn’t suspect anything wrong with her. They all described her as a ‘down to earth’ nurse and were loyal to everyone she helped. Forensics has claimed that the ten people did indeed die from the acupuncture that was given to them.

A long needle around 10cm was heated up under a burning flame and was put through the client’s temple area on the head. The needle contained a foreign chemical from Japan and is very deadly once it gets into contact with human blood. Further tests on this drug are be-ing taken. All victims had the same damage caused by the needle except the last of the 10 victim Josie Mc-Clean. The needle caused red patches

to develop around the eye and flow down onto the face. She also developed rash and

bumps on various parts of her body.

Others only developed rash around the area where the needle was placed. Josie McClean tried to escape

but was unsuccessful and was punched in the face by the ‘psy-chotic’ acupuncturist. Family and friends expressed:“They didn’t need the acupunc-

ture, they didn’t seem so stressed about their life that they needed to talk to a stranger to calm them down, I just wish Sue Sun gets what she deserves.’ The acupuncturist was arrested

at approximately 10PM on Satur-day night at her shared home in Sutton Coldfield. She is due in court later this

month to get her final verdict.
