Third body is exhumed in care home probe

Police investigating the suspicious deaths of seven elderly care home residents were last night exhuming a third body.

The remains of Fred Green, who died at the home in January last year aged 81, were being removed from a cemetery in Kingweston, Somerset.

The great-grandfather's body will be the final corpse to be exhumed in the investigation into the Parkfields Residential Care Home, at Butleigh, near Glastonbury.

The deaths are being investigated after concerns were raised over the death of a 97-year-old woman at the home on New Year's Day.

The couple who ran the home, registered nurse Rachel Baker, 42, and her husband Leigh, a 48-year-old chef, were later arrested on suspicion of administering a noxious substance.

They have been questioned and bailed twice pending further inquires.

Parkfields was closed after a 'significant deterioration' in conditions.
