AN ALICANTE medic, 54, has been arrested by the Policia Nacional over the death of his elderly father after he partially amputated some of his toes at home.

Staff at the nursing home where his father stayed called emergency services after he returned there in bad shape following the clandestine operation.
An ambulance took him to the emergency unit of a hospital, where he died shortly afterwards.
The cause of death will be determined by a coroner.
The Policia Nacional detained the surgeon after being told of a link between his father’s death and the injuries that he had sustained.
