In this episode of UK Crime Podcasts, we delve into the harrowing case of Beverley Allitt, infamously known as the "Angel of Death." Between February and April 1991, while working as a nurse at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital in Lincolnshire, Allitt committed a series of heinous crimes against vulnerable children under her care. Her actions led to the deaths of four young patients, attempted murders of three others, and grievous bodily harm inflicted upon six more.

Allitt's methods were both sinister and calculated, involving the administration of lethal doses of insulin and the introduction of air bubbles into her victims' bloodstreams. Her crimes went undetected for a significant period, raising serious questions about hospital oversight and the mechanisms in place to protect patients.

In May 1993, Allitt was convicted on multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder, receiving 13 life sentences. She is currently detained at Rampton Secure Hospital in Nottinghamshire.
