A neonatal nurse at a busy UK hospital systematically harmed infants under her care between 2015‑2016, causing sudden unexplained deaths and severe injuries. Statistical spikes, toxicology reports revealing lethal doses of insulin and potassium, suspicious CCTV footage, and a notebook of medical notes built a case that led to a police investigation, a high‑profile trial, and a whole‑life sentence. The conviction prompted nationwide reforms in neonatal safety, medication protocols, and staff vigilance.
