Nurse accused of murdering babies on neonatal ward wrote notes reading 'I am evil' and 'I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough', court hears
One said: "I haven't done anything wrong and they have no evidence so why have I had to hide away?"
"Whether or not she did these dreadful things is the decision you will have to make when you have heard all the evidence.", Ben Myers KC, said "anyone with an ounce of human understanding" would see the notes as "the anguished outpouring of a young woman in fear and despair when she realises the enormity of what is being said about her".
The baby boy was from a set of triplets and died the day after she is said to have murdered his brother, Child O. "After all, she knew what she had done to him and therefore she knew what was likely to happen. It is certainly what she intended because it was something she had done to so many other children."The nurse is accused of injecting Child Q with excess air and a clear fluid, possibly water or saline, into his stomach through a nasogastric tube in a bid to murder him.
