G20 Pathologist Found Guilty Of Misconduct

A pathologist has been found guilty of 29 counts of misconduct over the death of a man at the G20 protests.

The General Medical Council (GMC) concluded that in 2002 Dr Freddy Patel failed to examine a body properly.

They concluded that Dr Patel acted dishonestly.

Last year, in three separate cases, he was suspended for three months over sub-standard work and "deficient professional performance".
