UK prosecutors have said there is not enough evidence to support manslaughter charges against 2DayFM radio DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian. BRITISH prosecutors will not press charges against Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christianover the royal over hoax call that preceded a nurse's suicide. The DJs made the hoax call to the King Edward VII's hospital in central London, posing as the Queen and Prince Charles when Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was being treated for a rare form of pregnancy sickness. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who took the initial call before transferring it through to a colleague on the wards, was found dead a few days after the incident, sparking a backlash against the 2Day FM DJs. The Crown Prosecution Service has now ruled the prank as "misguided" but there was no evidence it was intended to be anything other than a harmless prank. Malcolm McHaffie, deputy head of special crime at the Crown Prosecution Service, said there was no evidence to support a manslaughter charge and any potential prosecution would not be in the public interest. As is well known, on December 4 2012 Mel Greig and Michael Christian, both radio presenters in Australia, made a telephone call to the King Edward VII's Hospital in London, where the Duchess of Cambridge was receiving treatment, in which they pretended to be members of the Royal Family. Husband of the late Jacintha Saldanha, Benedict Barboza with daughter Lisha, 14, and son Junal, 16. During the course of the call, private information about the Duchess's health was given, in good faith, to Ms Greig and Mr Christian and the call was later played on a radio station in Australia. Subsequently, Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at the hospital who had initially taken the call but who had not herself passed on the information, tragically took her own life. He said Scotland Yard provided the CPS with a file of evidence on December 19 and asked advice on whether a prosecution should be brought. "Having carefully reviewed the evidence currently available, we have concluded that there is no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter and that, although there is some evidence to warrant further investigation of offences under the Data Protection Act 1998, the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and the Communications Act 2003, no further investigation is required because any potential prosecution would not be in the public interest," he said. Mr McHaffie said the CPS had taken into account, among other matters, that it is not possible to extradite people from Australia on the potential offences in question. King Edward VII hospital chief executive John Lofthouse tells the media of the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha. He also said it considered that "however misguided, the telephone call was intended as a harmless prank." According to an earlier coroner's court hearing, the 46-year-old nurse from Bristol left two notes in her room when her body was found. Christian and Greig apologised after Saldanha's death in emotional interviews on television, saying they never expected their call would be put through. The radio show behind the call, the Hot 30 program, was taken off air following Ms Saldanha's death and later cancelled.
