UK’s Most Notorious Child Murderer – Nurse Beverley Allitt
A Nurse with a Sinister Plan
Beverley Allitt, the seemingly caring nurse at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, hid a terrifying secret. Over just 59 days in 1991, she turned the children’s ward into a scene from a horror movie. Posing as a guardian angel, she cold-heartedly administered lethal doses of insulin and potassium to her innocent victims. This “angel of death” managed to murder four children and left a trail of nine more severely injured, many with permanent disabilities.
Victims of Trust
Her first victim, seven-week-old Liam Taylor, was admitted with a chest infection. Allitt seized the opportunity to play God, injecting the infant with a deadly cocktail that led to cardiac arrest. The unsuspecting parents, trusting their nurse, never imagined that the person meant to save their child was, in fact, orchestrating his demise. This chilling pattern of betrayal would repeat itself with horrifying consistency.
