A grieving son believes he may never get justice for his father three years after his death from Covid. Bill Jolly, 68, is furious that his dad, William, was taken into hospital with a head injury but sent back to his care home with coronavirus.
As the long awaited UK Covid Inquiry finally opened yesterday Bill told how a police probe into William’s death was dragging on and he is still searching for answers. He said: “As far as I am concerned patients returned to care homes from hospital with Covid were euthanised.”
More than 17,000 Scots have died from the virus since March 2020 - equivalent to more than the entire population of St Andrews - and a number of the bereaved travelled to London for the opening of proceedings. Yesterday Scots families heard their barrister accuse political leaders of “presiding over a carousel of chaos”.
