The court is set to deliver its judgment in the trial of pediatric surgeon Peter Beale, who faces serious charges related to the deaths of children under his care. Beale is accused of three counts of murder, linked to the deaths of children he operated on.
In addition to the murder charges, Beale is also facing two counts of fraud related to medical procedures that allegedly contributed to the fatalities.
Beale was initially arrested in 2019 on charges of culpable homicide, but these charges were later upgraded to murder and fraud. The trial has experienced multiple delays, but the court is now poised to issue its judgment.
