It has been reported that five people have been arrested as part of an investigation into the deaths of 20 residents with Covid-19 at a care home on the Isle of Man.
An independent investigation into Abbotswood Nursing Home in Ballasalla was halted in June when police were brought in.
In a letter to residents’ relatives seen by the BBC, the police said they had quizzed five people about suspected "criminal and/or health and safety offences".
The BBC said that police refused to give more details.
A spokesman told the BBC: "The Isle of Man Constabulary can confirm the information detailed and will not be making any more comment on the investigation."
According to the BBC the letter read: "The compiling of the report and associated documentation is already under way for us to seek independent UK advice on the matter.
"The individuals have all been bailed to mid-February to allow sufficient time for this to take place."
