Jacintha Saldanha: prosecutors consider criminal charges over Kate Middleton hoax call

The Data Protection Act offence is punishable by a fine rather than imprisonment - up to a £5,000 fine in the magistrates' court or an unlimited fine in the Crown court.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Following the death of Jacintha Saldanha, officers have liaised with the Crown Prosecution Service as to whether any criminal offences had been committed in relation to the hoax call made to King Edward VII Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday December 4.

"On Wednesday December 19, officers submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service for them to consider whether any potential offences may have been committed by making the hoax call."

Mrs Saldanha, 46, a mother of two, was found dead in staff accommodation at the hospital where the Duchess, 30, had been treated for acute morning sickness.

The nurse had answered the telephone at the hospital in Marylebone, central London, and the two presenters convinced her they were the Queen and the Prince of Wales.

Mrs Saldanha transferred the call to another nurse who unwittingly gave the DJs an update on the Duchess' condition.

Three days later the nurse was found hanging. She had left three suicide notes, her inquest revealed.

It has been reported that she wrote in one of three suicide notes that she expressed "deep anger" against the DJs and held them responsible for her death.

Mrs Saldanha's funeral took place on Monday in Shirva, on the coast of south west India.

Mrs Saldanha's children described the "unfillable void" left in their lives by their mother's death as a mass was held at Westminster Cathedral yesterday.

Naked Eye Planets

Venus, Mars and Saturn all visible in the early evening sky. The Moon will be right under to Venus on the 14th, Right under Mars on the 15th and Past Saturn on the 16th by which time it will be approaching the first quater. Look to the West, shortly after sunset and you will firstly see Venus, the Saturn and Mars will appear somewhat fainter and apparently further from the Sun. Over the next month or two, you can keep track of the ballet of these planets in the evening sky. Venus will rise up past Saturn and Mars, before all three planets sink into the twighlight glow. What is really happening of course is Venus is undertaking us on an inside orbit, while we are burning off both Saturn and Mars on the outside orbits. Anyways its a great time to not only identify these planets but to get a feel for their movement too. As for if you actually want to take a look at these things. 3in (~80mm) is probably the smallest scope you will want to consider. That will show you the rings of Saturn, and the phases of Venus over the next few months. Mars is v. small at the moment, and I couldnt really even resolve it as a disk, but at its closest it will show some detail on Mars. It will give spectacular views of the Moon, and will show the moons of Jupiter and detail on Jupiter. The cheapest I could find a scope like this is the 'Firstscope'. Celestron made them for the '2009 year of astronomy' and I think there is a surplus, cos the are now selling them on amazon for about . Bigger ...
