Aussie DJs won’t be charged over hoax

No charges will be brought against Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian over hoax calls to the hospital treating the Duchess of Cambridge, the says the Crown Prosecution Service.

The pair’s Hot 30 show was taken off the air in Sydney after London hospital nurse Jacinta Saldanha took her own life in December, following the on-air prank call.

Christian and Greig called the London hospital where Prince William’s pregnant wife Catherine was being treated for morning sickness and were put through to her ward by Ms Saldanha, who apparently took her own life when the hoax was widely publicised in the British and Australian media.

The Indian-born nurse was found dead in her lodgings near King Edward VII Hospital in central London on December 7.

Prosecutors on Friday said there was no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter, adding that the call was intended as a prank.
