Super Mums Recover After Brutal Dentist Attack
9 Mar
Summary
- Two women were brutally attacked by a disgraced celebrity dentist.
- The attacker died after police used a taser and a firearm.
- Friends and family have raised over $90,000 for the victims.
Two women, wellness therapist Christine Campeau and photographer Chloe Paul, are recovering after a violent attack by a disgraced dentist in Sydney. Dr. Steven Lin armed with a knife, first attacked Ms. Campeau in a communal laundry, stabbing her in the face. He then entered Ms. Paul's unit, demanding money, assaulting her, and attempting to choke her. Police attempted to use a taser, which was ineffective, and a single shot was fired when Lin lunged at officers, resulting in his death at the scene.
Less than a week after the ordeal, Ms. Paul shared a photo of herself and Ms. Campeau, both showing visible injuries, on Instagram, calling for support for their recovery. Friends and family have established GoFundMe pages, raising a combined total of over $90,000 to aid the women financially during their recovery. Ms. Campeau faces weeks of recovery due to serious facial injuries, while Ms. Paul has undergone surgery for a broken nose. Dr. Lin's spiral into addiction and legal troubles were noted as contributing factors to his violent behavior.
