Couple claims doctors are trying to hasten Charlotte’s death

POLICE have been called in to investigate claims that a hospital involved in a legal fight over the treatment of a seriously ill baby has been administering drugs to hasten the child’s death.

Charlotte Wyatt, who was born three months premature with massive damage to her brain and vital organs, was the focus of a High Court battle after doctors asked for permission not to resuscitate her if she stopped breathing.

Her parents had argued that she had the right to life.
