Doctors are believed to be our life savers. But sometimes they save lives in ways they’re not trained for. An Indian origin doctor in the UK helped convict a nurse who had killed seven babies and attempted to kill six more. Dr Ravi Jayaram, who works as a consultant paediatrician in Northern England raised concerns about the nurse in 2015. The police started the investigation only after April 2017.
Many of these babies who were killed would have been attending school today, said Dr Jayaram speaking at a television interview. He believes that many of these lives could’ve been saved if police had interfered in the matter before.
The woman used a number of methods to kill the infants which included infusing air or insulin in their bloodstream and overdosing. She used to deceive her colleagues and later made them believe that the baby died of natural causes.
Police have discovered much evidence against the woman including handwritten notes. Some of these notes read, “I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them”; “I’m evil I did this”; “today is your birthday and you’re not here and I’m so sorry for that”.
The accused has been found guilty of murdering seven newborn babies and also on seven counts of attempted murder. Her sentence will be decided on Monday.
