(32 minutes later) | |
A new criminal investigation is to take place into the deaths of hundreds of patients who were given "dangerous" levels of painkillers at a hospital. | |
An inquiry found 456 patients died after being given opiate drugs at Gosport War Memorial Hospital between 1989 and 2000. | |
A review has since been carried out by Kent and Essex Police to assess if there was "sufficient new evidence". | |
Relatives have been told a "full investigation" will begin. | |
Three previous investigations into 92 of the deaths by Hampshire Constabulary resulted in no charges being brought. |
