Woman who travelled with husband to assisted dying clinic will not face charges

Louise Shackleton says she faced excruciating pressure' after CPS decides prosecution not in public interest

A woman who accompanied her husband to an assisted dying clinic in Switzerland has been told she will not face charges.

Louise Shackleton, 59, handed herself in to police on return from Dignitas after her husband's death last December. North Yorkshire police said this week that although the Crown Prosecution Service concluded there was evidence of assisted suicide, it was not in the public interest to prosecute her.
