The Angel of Death: Beverley Allitt

Thank you for taking the time to tune into ICMAP! You may hear the audio quality is not quite up the standard of Series 2 onwards - we were still finding our feet as a podcast. Rest assured, the production quality does improve ♥️💀

An I Could Murder A Podcast first – ICMAP Episode 4 sees Tom and Ben explore one of the UK’s most infamous (and most deadly) female serial killers – Beverley Allitt, more commonly known as the Angel of Death…

Coughs, colds, and fevers are all common place during the grey Winter Months of the United Kingdom. Sickness bugs regularly wind their way through workplaces and schools, spreading from person to person. Thankfully, the UK has a National Health Service in place, waiting with open arms to help those who need it most. It is February 22nd, 1991, the adoring parents of 7-week old Liam Taylor grow concerned – as any new parent would do – with a slight cough that Liam has developed during his short time at the family home. Due to the very early age of the newborn, the parents are referred to take Liam to Ward 4 of The Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, a children’s ward located in the Lincolnshire region of England. Doting and attentive to young Liam, the cheerful couple park up and make their way into Ward 4. As they sign in, they are greeted with enthusiasm by a bright and brimming young nurse, who is immediately and intently focused on their young baby boy. Liam is placed into the care of those best placed to provide it and is gently wheeled away with caution from the reception area down into the Children’s Ward. The name tag of the young nurse reads Beverly Allit; a name that would go on to strike fear into the hearts and minds of parents and children all across the country. Little Liam is now in the hands of the Angel of Death.

What influenced this baby-faced, baby-voiced young lady to commit such despicable acts on those most defenceless? Could she have been stopped much sooner in order to prevent further victims? Why was she always covered in bandages and plasters and why did she choose to have a perfectly healthy appendix removed? Do nurses become murderers or do murderers become nurses?

Tune in and all will be revealed!
