Hoax call tragedy: Australian court rules radio DJs broke law

March 04, 2015 08:11

An Australia court today ruled that the two DJs broke the law in a hoax call to a UK hospital treating a pregnant Kate Middleton, paving way for the country's media watchdog to take an action against their radio station.

An India-born nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, 46, had accepted the hoax call from the 2Day FM DJs, Michael Christian and Mel Greig purporting to be Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, before passing it on to a colleague who divulged details of Kate's morning sickness.

Saldanha was found dead in the nursing accommodation of London's King Edward VII hospital days after staff were tricked into revealing details of Kate's pregnancy.
