From caring to killing
Article Abstract:
The conviction of nurse Beverley Allitt has stimulated consideration of other nurse murderers. In 1992 Austrian nurses Waltraud Wagner and Irene Leidolf were convicted of patient murders between 1983 and 1988. In America statistical evidence has led to charges being brought. However, judges usually require additional proof. Studies by nurse professor, Beatrice Crofts Yorker have shown that only four out of nine prosecutions led to convictions. Suggested motives include compassion for patient suffering.
