Doctor Derek Keilloh ruled 'dishonest' over death of Iraqi detainee
Dr Derek Keilloh denied making
untrue statements about the 2003 case
A former army medic has been found
guilty of misleading and dishonest conduct after the death of Iraqi detainee
Baha Mousa in 2003.
Dr Derek Keilloh, from Aberdeen, was serving as a medical officer with the Queen's Lancashire Regiment in Basra.
Mr Mousa died with 93 injuries in British army custody.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled Dr Keilloh was aware of the injuries but failed to report them or examine other detainees.
Dr Keilloh had told the hearing, being prosecuted by the General Medical Council, there were no visible injuries as he tried to treat Mr Mousa before confirming his death.
Mr Mousa had been hooded with a sandbag for nearly 24 hours and suffered 93 injuries, including fractured ribs and a broken nose, during the final 36 hours of his life in the custody of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment.
Dr Keilloh had claimed he only spotted dried blood around the nose of the 26-year-old hotel receptionist.
The GP faced the misconduct hearing over allegations that he failed to ensure written records were made of medical examinations of civilian detainees.
He was also accused of failing to examine Mr Mousa, a father of two, not checking the condition of other detainees and not notifying senior officers about mistreatment.
