PROSECUTORS considering the Muckamore Abbey Hospital abuse scandal have received new police evidence on a further nine "suspects" who worked in the facility's psychiatric intensive care unit.
Correspondence seen by The Irish News reveals that detectives forwarded a "third file" to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) three weeks ago as part of the probe into the Co Antrim facility.
