An elderly British woman was killed by a Chinese therapist during a slapping treatment session.

A 56-year-old Hong Qiao Xiao arrest warrant was issued on charges of manslaughter after he caused the death of 71-year-old Daniel Kargum from the British city of Sussex during a slap therapy session, the Mirror newspaper reported.

The British lady resorted to this strange type of treatment, which is based on exposing the patient to slap, in an attempt to cure her diabetes.

Two other people who were arrested and questioned at the time of the incident were released without further action.
