WICHITA | A Kansas nurse convicted of enslaving the mentally ill residents of the group home she ran with her husband was due back in court Tuesday to be re-sentenced.

Linda Kaufman was convicted in November 2006 of defrauding and abusing residents. Jurors found that the 66-year-old woman forced residents to work naked and perform sex acts while the government and their families were billed for “therapy.”

Kaufman was sentenced to seven years in prison. But a federal appeals court has ruled that the trial judge should reconsider factors that could mean a longer sentence.

AFP/File – A baby boy who made a surprise arrival on board an AirAsia flight this week will be given free flights …

 

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – A baby boy who made a surprise arrival on board an AirAsia flight this week will be given free flights for life with the budget carrier, as will his mother, the airline said Friday.

AirAsia said 31-year-old passenger Liew Siaw Hsia went into labour on Wednesday’s flight from the northern island of Penang to Kuching on Borneo island.

The aircraft made an emergency diversion to the Malaysian capital but the baby arrived just before landing, delivered by a doctor who was on board and who was assisted by the airline’s flight attendants.

“The baby was safely delivered when flight AK 6506 was approaching Kuala Lumpur for landing at 2,000 feet,” the airline said in a statement, adding that  mother and baby were taken to a nearby hospital following touchdown.

“To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to present both mother and child with free flights for life,” said AirAsia’s director of operations Moses Devanayagam after visiting them in hospital.
