Dr Keilloh , who at the time was a Captain and Regimental Medical Officer forthe QLR, supervised a failed resuscitation attempt of the shirtless Mr Mousain a desperate bid to save the his life. But the doctor has always maintained he did not see thevictim's catalogue of injuries and therefore did notconsciously attempt to conceal anything. Dr Keilloh is appearing before the Medical Practitioners TribunalService, a new arm of the GMC that deals with allegations ofmisconduct against doctors. The British Army medic denies dishonesty and misconduct in histreatment of Mr Mousa and other detainees. Rebecca Poulet QC, counsel for the Medical Practitioners TribunalService (MPTS) opening the case, said Dr Keilloh failed to examineMousa, then did not check the condition of other detainees ornotify senior officers about the mistreatment. Instead, she said, four times 'under oath' Dr Keilloh maintained hedid not see the injuries to Mousa's battered body followingmistreatment while in the custody of QLR soldiers. Mrs Poulet said: 'The events span just about three days, but thedoctor's subsequent and more recent conduct is alsocriticised for his repeated failure to describe this incident withthe openness and honesty that is expected of a doctor.' The tribunal heard Dr Keilloh was just 28 at the time of theincident and new to his post, having been in the job only eightweeks. After a 'very short' handover, he took over the medical team of theQLR at their HQ in the former headquarters of the SaddamHussein's Ba'ath Party in Basra City. Operation Salerno was launched by the QLR against Saddam Husseinloyalists in the city and on September 14, 2003 Mousa and otherdetainees were brought in for questioning. It was common practice, the tribunal heard, for detainees to behandcuffed with plastic cable cuffs and hooded with a sandbag. It was also told that prisoners, including Mousa, were checked atthe time and none reported injuries or illness before detention. Mrs Poulet said: 'He was to die the following day as a result ofthe injuries inflicted on him by the soldiers guarding him and afinal violent incident on the night of September 15.'.
