Care home shuts after two arrests as police investigate deaths
Extracts:
"Detectives are investigating seven deaths among residents at an elderly people's home, which was closed yesterday following the arrest of a nurse and a chef on suspicion of poisoning.
The couple were released on bail after police questions about the death of 97-year-old Lucy Cox at the 16-bed private Parkfields home, in the Somerset village of Butleigh, near Glastonbury.
The pair were named as Rachel Baker, 45, a registered nurse who ran the home for 19 years until resigning in January, and her 48-year-old husband, Leigh."
"Health and safety rules at the home were flouted regularly, there was inadequate staffing, and muddled record keeping. The report, which included evidence from 10 residents, found the management to be "poor" with residents confined to their bedrooms for long periods, amid low standards of cleanliness and health care."
