Kate Roughley, 37, denies the manslaughter of Genevieve Meehan
Jurors are set to return their verdicts in the trial of a nursery worker accused of swaddling a baby girl and strapping her face down onto a bean bag. Kate Roughley, 30, is accused of the manslaughter of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan who sadly died following an incident at Tiny Toes Nursery in Stockport, in May 2022.Prosecutors allege that in the preceding days, Ms Roughley had ‘taken against’ Genevieve and had shown ‘hostility’ towards her.
Jurors were told Genevieve, known by her parents as Gigi, was left virtually immobilised and face down from 1.35pm to 3.12pm when Ms Roughley found her blue and unresponsive and raised the alarm. Asked by her barrister, Sarah Elliott KC: "What responsibility do you feel in relation to what happened?" "I usually sell these for £89, but for you... £50": A horrific discovery in a children's toy shop in Greater ManchesterThe driver of a Renault Megane died at the scene after the car was ploughed into another vehicle'I had a feeling he was out for me.
