"All the evidence suggests that Sunaina died due to congenital abnormalities. If you wish to contest this view, then you need to ask an independent expert to compile
a report, which disproves the above findings and opinions."
Page 2 para 4
"You add that the doctors ‘punctured’ Sunaina to give her
anti-biotics, but that she was not to be given treatment and puncturing is a known cause of sudden death. In his statement dated 11th
May 2001 to Dr Stearns, Dr Solebo states that on the 26th October, he was informed by Dr Hancox that
she had been unsuccessful in siting any intravenous line for Sunaina’s antibiotics.
He states, “I then decided to site the intravenous line. The first
attempt failed. At a second attempt, I inserted an intravenous cannula into a
small vein, but discovered that Sunaina had suddenly stopped breathing. Her eyes
rolled and she also stopped moving. I realized that Sunaina must have had a cardiac
arrest and immediately instituted active resuscitation”.
Page 2 para 6
"There is no evidence to suggest
that Sunaina was killed due to “puncturing”. If you wish to dispute
this view, then this is something which your independent expert should be asked
to comment on."

"Sunaina was given an overdose of ranitidine. She was given 150mg 2x daily instead of 3mg 3x daily.
Tesco prescribed the overdose of ranitidine on the26th September 2000. The above error was repeated by their pharmacy.
Dr Harrowes and Dr Shenoy at King
George Hospital prescribed the ranitidine overdose on the 3rd October 2000. Sunaina
was given 30mg 3x daily instead of 3mg 3x daily. The doctors then failed to stop
administering the ranitidine to allow recovery from the overdoses.
Dr Soffe, a pharmacist failed to note the overdose of ranitidine on
her daily ward round. The ranitidine overdose caused an enlargement of Sunaina’s
heart.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society conducted an enquiry in to the ranitidine
overdose by King
George Hospital and Tescos."

"In paragraph 23, he [Professor Weindling] states. “My view is
that there were mistakes but that these were genuine errors. Furthermore, it
is unlikely that these mistakes resulted in serious injury or permanent damage”.

"If you wish to dispute Professor Weindling’s views, then you
should ask your independent expert to address these issues."

"I agree with your claim that there is no evidence to suggest that
vitreous humour was taken and analysed. If the scientist thought it necessary
to carry out this test then vitreous humour could still have easily been taken."
Page 6 para 8
"There is no dispute that an overdose of ranitidine was administered,
but it is unlikely to have caused Sunaina any harm. There was no evidence from
the analysis of the stomach contents to show any overdose of potassium."
Page 7 para 2
“You also allege that video recordings were suspiciously omitted
from the post mortems."
“Page 7 para 3
Your final complaints about the post mortem examinations is that no
proper PM was carried out because the body had been tampered with to hide the removal of organs and that no one considered
that an oxygen mask was used to suffocate Sunaina."
Page 7 para 4
“You have been unsuccessful in your attempts to persuade the
Indian courts to order a further post mortem, but I do not see why this do not prevent you from having an examination carried
out privately at your own expense."
Page 7 para 5
“You have alleged that the eyeballs, tongue and brain were removed
on the day of death, four days before the final PM examination on the
30th October 2000."
Page 8 Para 3
“You have made various points about the police photographs, which
show that Sunaina’s trunk was suspiciously bright red and she had a bloated stomach.
This is a matter that needs addressing by your independent expert because neither pathologist commented on it."
Page 8 para 7
“You have alleged that social workers committed perjury at an
emergency hearing at a magistrates home @ 23.00hrs on the 20th
October 2000, to obtain an Emergency Protection Order. They used the
Protection Order to prevent your family from being present whilst drugs were administered and Sunaina allowed to die."
Page 10 para 2
"You have stated that the time
of death is suspicious. Sunaina’s parents were informed at 11.05am that she ad died, but the time of death is recorded as 11.10am."
Page 10 para 6
"With attempts to site intravenous
needles into Sunaina to give her antibiotics and the attempts to resuscitate her, I do not see that it is impossible that
the blood came from these activities. There is nothing to suggest that any cut
or bleeding contributed to Sunaina’s death. The cardigan is available to
you should you wish the carry out an independent examination of the garment at your own expense."
Page 11 para 6
"You have alleged that pages were removed from the King Georges Hospital
medical file covering the last week of Sunaina’s life. In his report dated
15 August 2004, Professor Weindling states, “I can find
no evidence to suggest that the medical record was falsified in any way, nor can I see why it should have been. It is correct that ideally entries in the medical record should be timed, dated and signed. It is however, often the case that this standard is not met in British hospitals”.
Page 12 para 4
"I have not found, nor have
you produced any evidence to disprove the finding of the pathologists, the inquest or the police investigation. To do so, you need to appoint an independent medical expert.
"Whilst we are fully aware that you do not accept the findings as outlined
above I must now tell you that the review into Sunaina’s death is complete. The
papers will be filed away and the police will not spend any more time investigating this case.
"You have not produced any expert evidence at all to refute the findings as summarized above. I will only respond to further correspondence from you or your family if you produce prima facia evidence
to overturn the inquest verdict and the opinions of Professor Weindling. "
