READ MORE: Finally, the full truth of Greater Manchester teacher Rebecca Joynes' sex crimes can be told On May 9 Genevieve’s parents dropped her off at the nursery. Less than an hour after arriving Ms Roughley swaddled Genevieve in a blanket and put her in a cot face down with a blanket pulled over her. Ms Roughley then placed a sheet over the far end of the cot, restricting visibility, the court heard.
