My ‘hero’ boyfriend put me in a coma for 8 months, says bakery girl

A young woman woke from an eight-month coma to accuse her 'hero’ boyfriend of attacking her. Lin Yingying, 20, emerged from her state to say Liu Fenghe had beaten with a rolling pin after she accidentally burned some bread at the bakery they ran together. Liu, 24, from Liaoning province, had been hailed in Chinese media as a hero for looking after her following what he said was an accident that had left her paralysed in a vegetative state in 2014. He reportedly spent 200,000 yuan (£21,000) on medical treatment for her and pledged to take care of her for the rest of his life.

I want to take care of her for the rest of her life. Even if I have to push her around in a wheelchair, I would be happy.

Her family took her home from hospital last February after they were reportedly unhappy he was visiting her in hospital. She regained consciousness last May and alleges Liu beat her with the rolling pin. He always maintained she had somehow fallen from the bakery building. She said he had abused her before but she had been too frightened to tell anyone. Ms Yingying’s family have referred the matter to the police.
