Granada Derek Keilloh

A former army medic is struck off the medical register. Dr Derek Keilloh was "dishonest" over an Iraqi's detainee's death.

Dr Keilloh said he saw no injuries on Baha Mousa, who died in the custody of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment in 2003. Mr Mousa had 93 wounds.

A medical tribunal is now deciding whether Dr Keilloh's medical registration should be "erased" immediately or in 28 days.

The former army medic claimed he hadn't tried to cover-up what happened to Mr Mousa. The panel decided he was guilty of serious misconduct.

The tribunal says Dr Keilloh's "erasure" from the medical register is the only way "proper standards" and "trust" in doctors may be ensured.Dr Keilloh's misconduct would be "fundamentally incompatible" with "registration" as a medical practitioner, according to the ruling.

Former Army doctor Derek Keilloh was today struck off the medical register by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service after his misconduct over the death of Iraqi detainee Baha Mousa in 2003.
