China's top health authority and the Ministry of Public Security will directly supervise the investigation into the killing of a doctor in central China's Hunan Province on Wednesday.
Wang Jun, a doctor with Shaodong County People's Hospital, was beaten by members of a patient's family at around 1:40 p.m. on Wednesday. Wang was seriously injured and died at 5:15 p.m after treatment failed.
Two suspects have been apprehended and another surrendered himself to police.
The National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) strongly condemned the attack in a statement, saying "it was a vile criminal act that must be severely punished."
"The normal order of medical treatment must be maintained and the personal safety of medical personnel be guaranteed," the statement reads.
