Doctor Found

Doctor Chris Shaw, who has been missing for two days, was today found alive in the building site of Palmerston North’s new surgical wing. Carl Stopper, an electrician called in to check on faulty wiring, discovered the doctor tied and bound in a locked room. Police say his attackers, who stole money and may have been trying to get access to drugs, are both Caucasian men in their late twenties or early thirties. It is possible they were living rough in the site which closed after the bankruptcy of H.J. Pickard construction. The doctor was kept in the hospital over-night for observation and is expected to make a full recovery.
