Beverley Allitt: A Nurse Who Murdered Children

The Unassuming Killer


A Façade of Compassion

To the outside world, Allitt was the epitome of compassion and dedication. Her colleagues and the parents trusted her implicitly, never suspecting that beneath the facade of kindness lurked a calculating murderer. Allitt’s ability to feign concern and empathy allowed her to operate undetected for far too long, turning the place of healing into a den of death.

Manipulating Trust

Her final fatal victim, 15-month-old Claire Peck, was admitted for an asthma attack. Allitt took advantage of the situation, administering a fatal injection that led to cardiac arrest. Despite the medical team’s best efforts, Claire couldn’t be saved. Each death was a puzzle piece in Allitt’s twisted game, a game that went unnoticed until the body count started to rise.
