Episode 16: Beverley Allitt

Finishing off our series off killer medical professionals, we will be talking about the crimes of Beverley Allitt. Allitt would take advantage of the trust and security that a hospital gave her, and committed the ultimate betrayal against the parents of children undergoing mostly routine monitoring, by taking 4 lives. Her weapon of choice was a syringe, she would inject children with lethal doses of insulin, potassium or sometimes just air to induce a respiratory collapse in small children. Her targets being the most vulnerable of humans, her attention seeking behaviour and her abuse of power makes her one of recent histories most cold and calculated killers.
