- Social worker found guilty
A social worker involved in care of Victoria Climbie
has been found guilty of deliberately failing to attend
a public inquiry into her death. Carole Baptiste, 39,
is the first person in Britain to be tried for deliberately
breaching an inquiry summons.
She was found guilty at Camberwell Green Magistrates
Court, south London. District Judge Hayden Gott said
he did not accept Baptiste's defence that she was still
suffering from a mental illness during the seven months
in which she ignored calls to attend the inquiry into
the murder of the eight-year-old. Mr Gott fined Baptiste
£500 for the offence. |
