If they survived Timothy unable to speak and award of the state was the perfect target after Timothy Hardwicke stuff out had two days off on March shave. When Beverly returned to work, she met a new patient Cayley Desmond Fifteen month old Cayley was chronically ill almost from birth. When she first met, Beverly Islet Cayley had a chest infection and around unlike Liam and Timothy Kelly was left alone in Beverly CARE. Her mother Maggie slept by her side. The entire your time she was in the hospital we may

ever know exactly when or how Beverly crept into Kelly's room or what exactly she did. The baby girl under the nose of her sleeping mother. What we do now is that around one in the morning, on Sunday March, tenth bear Valid called for I see and Lynn Vowels into Kelly's room with her Beverly asked Berlin. Help changing a monitor on Kelly's ivy. As the two nurses worked, Beverly pointed out that Cayley wasn't breathing while Lynn started CPR Beverly, Sir, did the alarm and brought the crash team running Kelly revived and moved to the treatment room for intensive care and observation to nurses received strict instruction, to watch Kelly's every breath. One of them was Beverly Islet, Sid's or a sudden infant death syndrome is colloquially referred to as cot death. In Britain it seemed at the time that Beverly out interrupted a case

it doctor said Katy would have died, had Beverly not been there. Unfortunately, those same doctors fail to notice evidence on Kelly's X, Ray that suggested. Beverly actually tried to murder Kelly. Maggie, was grateful to know that Beverly, the hero nurse, would watch, for her sleeping daughter in the treatment room. Maggie was was to remain outside cayley quickly, begun, recover after being resuscitated, yet exactly baby Liam, just as she's to becoming around she stop breathing about four. In the morning, the crash team was called again after kill was again revived. The doktor ordered her transferred to Queen Medical Center in Nottingham. This was, of course, the same Little Chris and Joanne considered, but decided against for Liam always eager to help early hour volunteered to ride over with the doctors to make sure Kelly's transfer went well by

six, a dot M, Kaylee and Maggie we're safely ensconced. In the intensive care unit of Queens Med doctors, there couldn't find any cause for Kelly's heart attacks day. Two the clue buried in an x ray taken after Kelly's first resuscitation no way in an image of Kelly's ribs was the tiny shadow of an almost microscopic air bubble. It was the first hard evidence of Beverly crimes, but nobody saw it until are too late. Kelly suffered brain damage as a result of oxygen deprivation during her respiratory arrests already, living with an altered appearance, cognitive impairments and physical weakness, Where then undiagnosed, genetic disorder called Kabuki syndrome, really would now have yet another lifelong disability queens wasn't yet on the look out for a serial killer, but at least one person, came suspicious. Chris Taylor refused

to accept that a sun Liam had to spontaneous heart attacks and a matter of hours. He spoke to experts and even called a help line. He sought a tv show, but nobody could explain why this happen to a son, one doktor said simply: babies d would have heart attacks by MID March of ninety ninety one rumors bout ward for were spreading in the small village of grant them experienced nurse. His were unsettled tensions between rival doctor has escalated as the entire hospital coped with confusion Mary read who is on leave during cayley, stay and ward for says when I walked back into the a week later I felt a dark heavy clouds, blooming and I said, a silent prayer for strength. If gossip on the village and on the ward bothered Beverly she didn't let on. Nor did she think to pause for it.

Acts until the rumour mill settled down on the twenty third of March, almost exactly two weeks after Cayley left word for for the relative safety of Nottingham five month old Paul Crampton entered Beverly orbit. Paul was recovering from bronchitis and scheduled to go home the next day. That is until really volunteered to give Paul a feeding. Why attack another child so soon when another suspicious would surely raised the alarm sky high, a manager the facility where Beverly AL it was interviewed after her arrest speculated. That quote, although I shall it be an offending simply to be noticed. The need for theatrical develop to such a point that killing became necessary so that she can sure she had the attention she craved end quote: Paul Crampton was slow to respond and didn't want away from a snap thoroughly Lieutenant staff nurse named Cain'T lock notice that palm looked grayish and felt clammy to the top

Beverly AL it a newly qualified as CN with only weeks of experts, reliance on the job. Had a diagnosis ready, she old nurse, lock that Poland must having a hyper glassy make attack and insisted on testing his blood sugar. Indeed Paul cramped its blood sugar with low, This confirmation of Beverly diagnosis, shocks, nurse lock Paul was being fed regularly by nurses, so his blood sugar should be state for there was no reason for him to have a potentially fatal hypo classy MC attack, but the evidence was right there. On the test strip. Doctors administer dexterous to raise Paul's blood sugar The baby boy soon came around and began to behave like a normal infant again. Paul was out of the woods and his father, David Crampton, could,

have been more relieved that is until Paul second attack on March. Twenty fourth pulse blood sugar crashed again this time, while he was being held by his father again to the treatment room again, the dexterous and now more questions Davies rights that the suspicion. Crampton interrogated hospital staff, certain the medical team had made a mistake in Paul's care. However, even the Crampton weren't mistrustful enough to suspect a murderer was on the loose in the hospital. It looked for a few hopeful days as a pole might finally be passed. The worst of his illness, because Paul was recovering, David in Cath cramped and ignore the recommendation of award for nurse that they move him to another hospital. The next day March twenty Eightth. Ninety ninety one Paul had another, much worse attack if it weren't for the ivy, glucose already in his veins Paul

have died. Another blood sample was taken, doctors promised detested right away. Meanwhile, Doktor Porter called up Queens Med and arranged as for Beverly Islet Road to Nottingham in the ambulance with Paul and its mother calf back it grant them hospital part time. Nurse Wendy Sorrel, quit the deaths and near me is we're just too much for her to bear also back and grant them pause. Blood sample missed the afternoon. Male deadline It remains in the pathology, Lamb, freezer untested. It was their proverbial smoking gun, but four weeks it sat literally on ice, the overworked staff at grant them and kissed even hospital often gave into bad habits, making errors in menial work like blood sample, labeling and storage

able to do everything. Staff did less than they could the very next day on good Friday, five year old Brad gifts and entered the hospital with pneumonia for his family. This meant missing an Easter holidays trip but, of course, brats. Health was more important. He certainly seemed all right when Judith reluctantly left him for the night, but she Her husband, Steve, were called back to the hospital at three in the morning. Brad had an unexplained heart attack in the middle of the night by now even the doctors were deeply troubled by the rash of cardiac and respiratory arrests on for transferring critically. All patients to Nottingham had become not only routine but a sort of magic potion. The children who lived long enough to be transferred all Sir to get better there. Why would Beverly accelerate her attacks? when those around her became suspicious enough to automatically transfer critically. Children out of ward for Ryan Theorizing

the Beverly AL. It was altering the presentation of her own psychological condition through operant conditioning operant this evening is the theory first described by Bf Skinner that the frequency of anyone Savior can be altered by either positive reinforcement or punishment. Whenever Beverly killed a child, she received Paul the reinforcement in the form of an enormous influx of attention, therefore accord to the theory of operant conditioning she was can shining herself to kill more and more frequently after brats heart was shocked back to life was bundled into an ambulance to Queens mad Beverly I'll offer. To ride in the ambulance again, but she was told to stay with her patience. Patience including two year old Henry Chon, who had accidentally frank His skull leaping out of first floor window before doctors had even finished resuscitating Brad.

Beverly AL. It complained to another nurse Catherine Morris that Henry Chon wouldn't stop crying Catherine and a second nervous Margaret Decent Next past Henry's bed. They saw he wasn't breathing For the second time in less than twenty four hours, the crash team headed for ward for after resuscitation, it was best that Henry gotTa Nottingham too, this time Beverly was allowed to ride in the ambulance. It was Saturday March, thirtieth nineteen. Ninety one, the next day, was Easter Sunday By now, even the wards to doctors, doktor, Porter and Doktor Non ya. Cora were suspicious about the string of emergencies and the two unexplained deaths. Crampton was still in the Nottingham hospital Brad's parents, the Gibsons befriended, the Crampton gather they waited anxiously to see abroad would wake from his coma. On Monday April fool's day he did.

Its recovery became a local news, highlight he died. Good Friday and woke three days later, the day after Easter, he was grey. Comes miracle boy, Brad might be awakened talking, but he was incontinent and hand little feeling at his legs. He was tormented by nightmares no longer sleeping through the night, but at least he was alive and he slowly recovered his ability to walk Nottingham doctors. Couldn't I believe that Brad's heart attack was caused by asthma. Thirty three year old Doktor Terence Stevenson raised the theory that Brad had somehow been given the wrong drug Stevenson's. Can turns were taken seriously enough. Then a senior consultant Derek Johnston interviewed the Crampton about Paul's case, but there wasn't enough evidence yet to warrant involving police Beverly eyelid, it would seem, was free to continue hurting the children of ward.

Or will hear how police were finally able to apprehend Beverly after this break, Now, back to the story of US lyrics covered at Queen's Med Hospital the day after Easter Sunday, one thousand nine hundred and ninety one, but four days after Brad's recovery on April fifth, three month old, premature twins, Katie and Becky Phillips were discharged from the hospital after being cared for by Beverley Allitt that night Becky stop breathing her parents rushed her back to work for, but you couldn't be revived. Death was attributed to sudden infant death syndrome or cot death. The same label pinned on Kelly's respiratory arrest. Mary read recalls that done. Sir said it might have been an infection and advised bring, Katy into the twins. Mother Sue went home and returned with little Katy. Beverly allege paid special attention to sue and to the twins

other Peter. She reassured them that she would personally make sure. Katy was all right: this time other nurses had begun to talk about Beverly, odd mannerisms, she cosy up some parents of the babies who had died or nearly died, but wouldn't give other parents the time of day Finally, there were growing rumours that Beverly was moonlighting at a nursing home working on her off days, instead arresting administrator, Moira onions looked into it concerned about fatigue, but couldn't find enough proof to confront Beverly Beverly desire to be in a hospital environment all day every day, almost sounds like an addiction again. According to Bf Skinner operant conditioning might have played a role, variable reinforcement or large reward received. Only some of the time is in in many addicted behaviors such as gambling Beverly hospital job functioned like her personal slot machine. She went to work

every day, but only times. Did she get rewarded with a big flurry of attention? Beverly lived with a fellow nurse Tracy Johnson in a semi detached house on the eastern edge of Grandpa Tracy remembers Beverly as very happy. During this time, Beverly took a special ride in how many medical crises she coped with. Ryan theorizing, the Beverly behaviour likely began with observing the attention medical staff members received when charges in their care. Were seriously ill or died. She then must have started to make her own patients ill in hopes of see being the same reward. The variable nature of this reinforcement would have had to say effect on Beverly that an occasion the wind has on a gambler. The very same night. Becky died, Beverly raised the alarm for Becky's twin Katy. She too had stopped breathing Katy, like Becky, was resuscitated. Sister in several insisted on sitting with her all night, both on that Friday night

and again on the next night Saturday March Sixth Kate was given an emergency baptism. Just in case always Saturday and most have Sunday Katy, seem to be getting stronger, Sonny afternoon. She was well enough that her parents left Katy alone with nurse Beverly, while they went for a meal. While alone with Beverly Katie's heart stopped. She was again resuscitated, but this time she had suffered permanent damage to her brain and body Katy would never be the same, but soon and Peter were grateful. Justin have a surviving child. They were so grateful in fact that they made Beverly godmother to Katy. Beverly was invited for special family dinner at the Phillips family home. She even took Katy for outings, too they're just the two of them. This special relationship with a girl she tried to kill is one of them. Unusual features of Beverly islets case even another

cases of murderous nurses, sometimes called angels of death. We don't the same drive to form relationships with the victims or their families. Here's Jean half daughter of a murderer victim confronting another killer. Nurse Charles Cullen confronting were killed. When I look at you Mister Collins, I dont see somebody son or somebody's father. I see evil and I see death and I am so glad I got that opportunity to tell you that dream. Whose father was killed by Charles Carbon. One common was working as a nurse in New Jersey. He admitted to as many as forty killings adjudged, sentenced him to eleven consecutive life terms in prison. For twenty two deaths, you shall remain in prison for the rest of your natural come on, sat with his eyes closed. Sixty relatives of his victim spoke in court I'm Steve Night, that's a far cry from the affectionate bond between Beverly and the parents of some of her young victims more than a decade. After

release conviction in September of two thousand for Professor bod pack. It noted that Beverly crimes couldn't adequately be described just by her need for attention, nurses amend, sadistic cruelty were inescapable features of her crimes according to pack it better We likely had munch housing syndrome by proxy and abnormalities, possibly including nauseous stick: personality, disorder or borderline. Personality disorder, the death of Becky, Philips and the near death of Katy Philips marked a turning point for the hospital sister genes, level wrote a sternly worded letter to my Romanians, stressing the need for additional staff security measures and better equipment on board. For the day after Katie's, train for on April seventh. Ninety ninety one six year, old. Michael Davidson had a heart attack during a routine injection of antibiotics doctor, Cora, who resuscitated Michael attributed his car

the ichorous to a terrible fear of needles. He was literally almost scared to death, never mind. Michael, had been injected five times in the last forty eight hours without show signs of such intense fear, Doktor Porter, who didn't much care for Doktor Nott Cora, saw things differently. In fact, Doktor Porter was becoming obsessed with the string of Christ Son Ward for Doktor Non your car a privately believed. There was some sort of medical problem tearing through the ward, maybe an detected virus. Doctor Nicaragua asked Becky's parents to delay her funeral, so he could perform a second post mortem. It wasn't the second autopsy that held the answer and on the afternoon of Friday April twelfth it was Doktor porter, not talk to Non yeah Cora, who received the phone call that would ultimately bring about the end of devils killing spray.

The call came from Robert Henley at the University of Whales in Cardiff. Finally, Paul Crampton blood had been tested more than two weeks after it should have been Robert Henley explained to Doktor Porter But the insulin level in Paul Crampton blood was literally off the charts. There was no doubt someone had injected Paul with an enormous dose of insulin, Vincent more ex who later consulted with police on the role of insulin in Beverly, Alex murders rights regarding the tests on Paul Crampton blood quote the results were so abnormal has to be outside anyone's experience and grant them or in Nottingham. Such results are almost always cause by insulin. Take with suicidal intent and quote, but Doktor Porter didn't call the police when he got pause, results,

maybe a nurse innocently confused Paul for a diabetic patient. He wanted to be certain the very next day on April, thirteenth krispies, good, stop breathing, while as mother Cresswell was outside, for a smoke break another emergency baptism onward for and when Chris came around another transfer to queens mad. Increased when hesitated to authorize the transfer nurse cod are winds were insisted, saying, move him if you dont he'll be dead by morning. It was Tuesday April sixteenth when the next crash happened. This attack had close to home for the hospital staff Christopher King. Only five weeks old was the son of a casualty nurse on one of the adult wards and grant them and cost even hospital This Christopher, like Krispies good before him, was resuscitated and transferred. He too recovered Belinda king swore she would never take her son to her own hospital again. Meanwhile,

and a stroke of good fate, Doktor Porter attending a medical conference in town, as luck would have it. One of the presentations given at the conference was on the subject of pediatric respiratory arrests and munch housing syndrome by proxy doktor porter heard present or give evidence of parents suffocating there already hospitalized children, he viewed the prince, Andrews Video containing surveillance, footage of parents smothering children in their hospital beds, the hairs on the back the porters neck stood up. He wondered after the presentation, Doktor Porter disgusted missions about a poisoner onward for with a well respected colleague, but still he didn't contact police, he needed proof or at least hospitals. Port. Meanwhile, sister Jean several grew more and more distressed. She wrote

Another letter this one specifically addressing the presence of Beverly, allege during more than twenty respiratory or a cardiac arrest in less than two months. On April, eighteenth, nineteen? Ninety one Beverly outlet told Mary read her fellow nurse to come quickly at the bedside of seven, we called Patrick Helstone, who had stopped breathing Mary red administered oxygen with Beverly help red rights quote a few minutes after I left the room. Patrick stopped breathing again AL. It raised the alarm again in her own time, and the doctors took over Patrick was whisked off to Queens Medical Center in Nottingham and made a full recovery We realized, then, that someone was causing these incidents and quote on Friday April nineteenth Doktor Porter acted on his suspicions. He called Nottingham Hospital and warned them to test Patrick's blue

four insulin, then he called Moira onions to tell her of his suspicions. Lastly, he called the hospital manager Martin Gibson, to request that the hospital implement video surveillance, despite growing years of a poisoner police still weren't called doctrine the car. I remain convinced that a mysterious contagion not assume killer was to blame on April twenty second ninety. Ninety one fifteen month old Clare Pack was admitted for now, but After being left alone with Beverly Outlet, Clare stop breathing Where was often in the hospital with complications of her asthma. Mary read: recalls quote I adored Clare. We all did she was bubbly and beautiful, and I got to know her well during the time she'd been in for treatment and quote Doktor Porter worked feverishly resuscitate the ward favorite he kept fighting death for

over ninety minutes. Even after Claire's parents, David Ensue asked him to stop trying to force life back into their daughter when Clare was fine, We declared dead, Doktor Porter not only sent blood and tissue samples for pathology. He tore down. I ve bags and confiscated them as possible evidence that night, Alan wills of the propriety lab contacted Doktor Porter. His voice, shaking with disbelief Clare, had so much potassium inner blood that when the test came back, wills believed his machine was broken. After testing at a second machine was the result confirmed. This could only mean one thing: murder, red brick, does the doctors soon began speaking openly about a poisoner in the hospital, but nurse

still believed the killer was apparent or a stranger, sneaking in on Friday April, twenty sixth, a mattress and ward for burst into flames. Nobody was harmed, but it seemed like an omen that things would only keep getting worse if the hospital didn't admit defeat and call the police On the following Tuesday April thirtieth hospital manager, Martin Gibson did just that detective superintendent, Steward Clifton was assigned to the case after reviewing the hospitals records. He realized there were at least fourteen possible victims and four deaths. It was the biggest case Clifton had ever worked on. Nurses from another word were brought in and tasked with watching the ward for nurses. No nurse to be alone with a child. Detective Clifton was minced Clare had been murdered, but he wanted to be. Absolutely certain. The other cases couldn't be explained by accident or luck. The strongest of it

A second murder attempt was Paul, Crampton blood, detective Clifton drove to Nottingham to visit with Derek Johnston. The consulting physician and Professor Hall are renowned pediatrician by the time Clifton left Nottingham. He was certain Assyria, Pillar, worked on ward for a chart, was assembled listing all the personnel in contact with each child and Beverly Hills, The only name that appeared in all fourteen cases, detective Clifton felt this was enough to just fi arresting and interrogating the young nurse.
