"Five people were arrested on suspicion of corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter. Four have been released with no further action being taken against them, while one person remains on bail for the offence of wilful neglect by a care worker.

One care worker at St Andrew's Hospital in Northampton has been arrested on suspicion of raping a patient; that suspect is one of eight employees arrested over allegations of wilful neglect and ill treatment related to an assault reported in July 2025. All eight suspects have been released on bail while investigations continue. St Andrew's faces separate probes after patient deaths, including a February 2025 death that led to five arrests on suspicion of corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter, and an October 2024 teenager's death that prompted an investigation with no charges. Police are preparing a report for the Coroner ahead of an inquest.
