About this episode

In 1991 tragedy struck the Grantham and Kesteven Hospital in Lincolnshire, England. Infants and children in Ward 4 were dying at an alarming rate. The one person in the hospital who was present when all of the children died or became deathly ill was Beverly Allitt.

Join Mike and Gibby as they talk about the story of the murderous nurse Beverly Allitt. The two pediatricians on staff had differing opinions on the causes of the deaths. One believed they were all just tragic coincidences, but the other believed one of their staff was harming children. The second doctor turned out to be correct. He began an inquiry that would expose nurse Beverly Allitt as a serial killer.
