Guernsey politician sparks outrage over assisted dying comments

A Guernsey politician has sparked outrage over comments he made to pro assisted dying campaigners this morning.

Jan Kuttelwascher confronted protesters outside the States, where he and his colleagues will debate plans for assisted dying in the island.

Campaigners say they are "furious" and have described the comments as "callous", but Deputy Kuttelwascher has defended them, saying he was simply stating his opinion.
