Fugitive doctor kidnapped by father of murdered girl

A fugitive German doctor who went on the run after poisoning his lover's 14-year-old daughter more than 27 years ago has been dumped, bound and gagged, outside a French court.

The girl's father has been arrested after taking the law into his own hands by tracking down and kidnapping Dieter Krombach, 74.

André Bamberski, 71, had waited for more than a quarter of a century for the man who caused the death of his daughter, Kalinka, to be arrested and jailed.

The suave cardiologist, who treated diplomats, was convicted of manslaughter in his absence over the death of his lover's blonde daughter.

She died suddenly after receiving a mystery injection at his home in Lindau in Germany while visiting with her mother in 1982.

Kalinka's father is convinced Krombach drugged his daughter in order to rape her.

It's a difficult one for me is this as I tend to favour letting the appropriate authorities deal with the issue. However, when those authorities let you down very badly sometimes taking the law into your own hands may be justified. I think this is probably one of those cases.
