Jesus wept, how?
Feck my life!
She must be insane.
She must be insane.
What the absolute shit
Christ. Not that far from where I live.
Doubt we'll know until the court case if she is charged. Here's the Police statement.
Where I was born
If true these are the type of situations the death penalty should be brought back.
Even with y’all not having it, they’d better hope they’re never allowed anywhere near the general population of the prison.
Death row gang members still draw the line at killing kids.
Virtuous members of society.
It’s entirely different in the uk our prisons and sentences are so soft compared to the US, it wouldn’t be surprising if this women is eligible for parole at some point and while she is locked up she will be protected no doubt. She will likely never go near the genareal population.
Good grief
Hell, they would've released Hindley if they could've got away with it.
It tells you everything you need to know about that woman that even Hell have tried to release her.
Even the lawless have principles.
I think it's that some crimes are so horrific that we can't imagine them unless the person committing them was insane. Even when the judicial system tells us the killer knew what they were doing, and that from a criminal perspective they're fit to stand trial. We still don't want to believe that it's possible.
Hence, there will always be someone trying to explain why it happened, why they weren't wholly responsible, why they're now changed etc. Sometimes it's the justice system itself that pushed a difficult case to the psychiatric units, where not unsurprisingly the doctors take a while before declaring them mentally fit, even cured.

Looks like the Caf has already convicted her.
Not really, people are just commenting on the issue under the hypothetical (implied) scenario that it's true.
Surprise at the women getting a parole...looks pretty much like a conviction.
And do we know that these were murders? The investigation was for higher than average non-fatal deaths and someone was arrested on suspicion. I've browsed the articles and there was no confirmation that these were actually murders.
Social media speculation taints and introduces bias like nothing else.
True. At present it could as easily be a statistical aberration, a symptom of poor practice in the hospital or poor training in the case of an individual. It's the police statement that talks about murder: "She was arrested earlier this morning on suspicion of murder in relation to 8 of the babies and attempted murder in relation to 6 of the babies and is currently in custody." Though of course that's not the same as saying she's been charged, and it's a very long way from anyone going to court and being convicted.
Yeah it's too early to make assumptions like this imo. Maybe she's mentally ill and has been for some time?
She's...not what I expected.
How is this female Shipman still walking the streets?

Surely she didn’t kill all these people in the same way through incompetence.

This exactly. I expected some middle aged witch looking woman.
what so 8 babies dead and no one thought, "hmm something is not quite right here". What circumstances could have been going on for suspicion not have been raised considering a single death should have been vigorously investigated ffs.
Just read the article. Are those numbers normal? So many babies dying in the hospital? Surely those numbers are alarming.

yes but at those rates??
Over 15 months?
No idea mate. We would need some real statistics to see if this was an exceptional number or outlier situation. There must have been a trigger to get them to investigate in the first place. So I would think someone department would have some analytics about this stuff.
Well, it depends. If babies are just preterm, they often do very well in neonatal units, thrive and go home without complications. Yes, babies do sadly die, but in my experience it's usually expected - the babies who are most at risk because of extreme prematurity or other problems (like infection or bleeding) obviously have the highest mortality rate.
Some units are Level 2 Neonatal Units and will get babies transferred in from other hospitals- they'll be the sickest neonates, so death rates are (unfortunately) expected to be higher. The Countess of Chester's unit was downgraded to Level 1 (Special Care) after the initial investigation (which the hospital requested). However, the deaths had already occurred by then (through 2015 and the first half of 2016).
Cheers.
Cruella de Vil style. The truth though is that killers are normally just normal looking.
Mind you we had someone in the caf not long ago who reckoned he could tell a sex offender by looking at them
I should have also said there are Level 3 Units, which are known as Neonatal Intensive Care Units. I think there's about 60-ish of those in the UK. They will look after the babies with the most complex problems.
Is it bad that I'd really like to talk to her and ask what the bloody feck got her to this point in her life that she murdered 8 babies? Staggering.
It's almost too unthinkable to believe. There was a case a while ago where a nurse was wrongly accused based on shift patterns matching or something, so you never know she might be innocent.
There's been at least three wrongful accusations in recent years that I can think of. The media shouldn't be publicly naming this person, IMO.
Sounds like a sex offenderCruella de Vil style. The truth though is that killers are normally just normal looking.

Agree, some woman has had her face plastered across all the newspapers etc this week before the investigation has finished (let alone a trial even started).
