Minsk - A Belarussian nurse fatally stabbed a pathologist with a scalpel during an autopsy, knifed three more people and later jumped out of a window, police said yesterday. The "crazed" 39-year-old orderly broke her back in the fall, an interior ministry spokesman added. She was in intensive care with a broken spine.

She inflicted several deep wounds in the belly of the pathologist, who died four hours later.
