A Chinese obstetrician is on trial for stealing newborn babies and selling them to child traffickers, a court and state media report.
Zhang Shuxia was accused of selling seven babies. She told the parents their infants were sick, and convinced them to give them up, reports said.
Ms Zhang admitted the charges in a court in Fuping, Shaanxi province.
The case emerged after two parents went to the police, suspecting their child had been abducted.
Ms Zhang sold seven babies to child traffickers between November 2011 and July 2013, including a pair of twins, an indictment posted on Weinan Intermediate People's Court's verified microblog said.
Six of the babies were rescued, but one baby girl died.
Ms Zhang worked in Shaanxi's Fuping Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital.
Wonders shall never end.
