Kate Roughley has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and child cruelty
Trial jurors heard statements from the parents of a baby girl who died after allegedly being strapped face-down to a beanbag by a nursery worker - as they spoke of their 'beautiful daughter' and her final moments.
Ms Roughley is accused of manslaughter by ill-treatment. The child was found unresponsive and blue on the afternoon of May 9, 2022. Ms Roughley has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter; and child cruelty. Speaking of the weekend prior to the incident, Ms Wheeler said: "It was the best weekend of her life."
“I’m a very cautious and careful person by nature, particularly of my children. I was not concerned about her health before she went to nursery,” Ms Wheeler wrote. “I immediately turned around and got in my car. Katie then phoned me back and informed me that the ambulance arrived and Gigi was being taken to Stepping Hill Hospital. They said it would take about 10 minutes.”
