The new chairman of the British Medical Association council previously compared the suspect in the notorious killing of a health insurance executive in New York with Jesus.
Dr Tom Dolphin, who was appointed at the end of June as chairman of the BMA's governing body, drew comparisons on social media between the alleged killer and Jesus, while also appearing to praise the suspect, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The killing of the UnitedHealthcare chief executive, Brian Thompson, in the heart of New York in broad daylight shocked the world when it occurred at the start of December last year, particularly because it appeared to have been carried out as a cold-blooded assassination.
