A former Army doctor has been struck off the medical register after his misconduct over the death of Iraqi detainee Baha Mousa in 2003.

Derek Keilloh, of Aberdeen, was a medical officer with the Queen's Lancashire Regiment in Basra when Mr Mousa died in British Army custody.

The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard he had 93 injuries.

The MPTS said Dr Keilloh, who practises in North Yorkshire, was aware of the injuries but failed to report them.

He supervised a failed resuscitation attempt to save the life of Mr Mousa, who had been hooded, handcuffed and severely beaten by soldiers.

The hotel receptionist had been arrested in a crackdown by soldiers who believed, wrongly, that he was an insurgent involved in the murder of four of their colleagues the month before
