Brazil boy needs more needles removed from body
Doctors in Sao Paulo will remove four of the five sewing needles remaining in the body of a 2-year-old Brazilian boy, who was stuck by his stepfather in an alleged plot to spite his wife.
Ana Neri Hospital spokeswoman Susy Moreno says doctors will operate to remove needles from the boy's underarm, thorax, abdomen and thigh.
Of 31 needles found in the toddler's body, only one will be left after Monday's surgery, doctors said. A needle in the boy's pubic bone does not cause any danger to his life.
Police have formally accused the boy's stepfather, Roberto Carlos Magalhaes, and his lover of attempted murder for allegedly sticking the needles.
Magalhaes wanted to kill the child to spite his wife, with whom he fought a lot.

Texan Police said Justin Brown, 24, masqueraded as Californian Guess Jeans and Maxim swimwear model Bree Condon, 23, for two years.
In one of a string of fake online profiles on SeekingMillionaire.com, "the meeting place for wealthy and beautiful singles", Brown identified himself as "Bree - just looking for Mr. Right", with accompanying photos of the brunette cover girl.
He enticed rich suitors by sending them pictures of Bree's face photo-shopped onto nude photos of other women.
He also set up web chats and even had intimate telephone conversations with his contingent of male fans, using his "very feminine voice" to dupe them.
The admirers were charmed into sending gifts to "Bree", including an iPhone and a small dog.
One affluent doctor even handed over US$15,000 ($16,438).
