Archie Battersbee's life support set to end on Saturday after final court bid fails

Archie Battersbee’s family has been told his life support will be turned off at 10am on Saturday as a campaign group admits "all legal routes have been exhausted".

Christian Concern announced the family had been told tonight that the 12-year-old's life-supporting treatment would end before the European Court of Human Rights then said it will not intervene in the case after a request from his family.

It comes after Archie's family lost their latest legal bid to have him transferred from hospital to a hospice to die before announcing they intended to continue their efforts at the ECHR.
