[A female healthcare worker has been arrested on suspicion of murdering eight babies and attempting to murder another six.
Police said the arrest followed an ongoing investigation of the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital, which got under way after several babies died at the hospital.
Officers were initially looking at the deaths of 15 infants between June 2015 and June 2016 when the investigation was launched in May last year]

This is terrible news

That "healthcare worker" is a nurse. This is the NHS being obstructive as ever. I'm pleased this story is out. The NHS, for all the great work it does, closes ranks under accusation.

Oh this is so awful..just why on earth would someone do this..

It was bad enough hearing about the doctor who killed all those elderly people and was repremanded, but not struck off. But to hear of someone killing babies... I can't get my head around it.

Yeah I just said that to Gavin..like..its not as bad when its adults they are killing, but babies in the neonatal unit..who are already chance to be fighting for their lives (neonatal is where the seriously premature babies go right?)..its just unthinkable really.

100% what kind of a mind must this "person" have to so something like that

This story is quite disturbing and scarey, the poor parents of these babies.

I have loads of mutual friends with her on facebook. This is so messed up, I will never understand how anyone could want to harm an innocent baby.

I can't see much of her page but my friend said she was always sharing posts about baby care units and the NHS and how nurses need support. Sick bitch.

Innocent until proven guilty, yet social media want her head.

Will hold my opinion until we know more.

this story is very disturbing, who would even want to kill poor innocent babies

She's been released on bail.

Thats so wrong.

It reminds me of a old story years of a nurse who was a serial killer

Both stories are horrible and disturbing :shocked:

Why? They don't have 100% hard evidence to charge her or they clearly would have with the number of deaths.

I remember her! Pure evil.

That's what worried me yesterday when watching the news reports, the frequent use of the word 'suspected'. You shouldn't be allowed to broadcast someones face all over the television and the internet next to such severe accusations unless they've been charged and convicted. If she's innocent, she'll never be able to move on from this.

I agree, her identity should only be revealed if and when she's charged in a court of law.

-If- she's innocent and this is somehow one big mix-up or misunderstanding, her life is absolutely over.

It’s early days - she’s been arrested not charged - nevermind found guilty. Let’s not do a trial by newspaper shall we.

It's one hell of a F UP ! if this is one big "mistake " . And i feel that's unlikely otherwise why did they arrest her in the first place? , they must of had good reason :suspect: she must of behaved guilty .

:clap1::clap1::clap1: It is time that the law was changed to prevent this from happening, Richard. It is wrong and unfair.

Out of interest have you ever felt guilty about something when you’re not - I know I have. You feel some people think you are and almost believe it yourself except you know you’re not. Coincidence often gets misconstrued by those with an agenda.

Yes brillo,I have felt that:wavey:

It’s horrible Kaz - so frustrating! :shrug:

If she is eventually found innocent of any wrongdoing, there will always be some people who have the IQ of a peanut that do not keep abreast of current affairs who will know that she has been accused of this but not that she has been cleared.

If she is eventually found innocent of any wrongdoing, there will always also be some people who KNOW that she has been cleared but do not accept it because 'There Is No Smoke Without Fire' in their minds.

Anonymity, until proved guilty in a Court of Law, is THE only way to protect an innocent person from both categories of the above.

And innocent people who have been WRONGLY accused of such heinous crimes NEED protecting.

I agree Kirk. I just ask myself - WHY - it makes no sense. All that training for what! I just can’t get my head round what she has been accused of. If she had any kind of ‘history’ it is unlikely she would have been accepted into a training programme.

Why would an intelligent capable woman with a promising future start killing babies! Surely someone that disturbed wouldn’t have slipped between the cracks! I would really like to know what ‘evidence’ they have!

But it's such a serious horrible crime to be accused of , the point I'm making is the police must of had some lead ?! . I don't know what to make of the whole thing . I keep thinking about the poor babies .

You read and hear of lots of horrible crimes but it's cases like this I find hardest to understand, even where wrong doing is proved you think surely not because it seems to unbelievable that anyone would set out to hurt babies.

I agree they shouldn't name names. Remember the poor guy who was named and photo'd all over the press for the murder of Rachel Nickell in front of her toddler? He was tried by press, hounded, the police tried to get him with a honey trap and it turned out that it had nothing to do with him. Poor man. Being a bit weird isn't a crime.

Exactly, and it isn't just one baby she's accused of harming or killing ( which would still be horrible) , but 8 BABIES!!! :shocked: . And it only seems to be her they've accused , they must of had a serious suspicion about her ! .

She was rearrested a few days ago, three new potential attempted murders...

i don't understand why she was allowed out. Those are serious crimes she is charged with

The trial is expected to take 6 months

Too long

The details of this case thus far are just harrowing. Jesus.

Yes so Evil.

If she's guilty then I hope that she never gets out.
