Nursery Nurse Sentenced to 14 Years for Manslaughter of Baby

Kate Roughley found guilty of killing nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan by strapping her face down to a bean bag.

Genevieve Meehan suffocated at Tiny Toes Nursery in Stockport on May 9, 2022.
Roughley showed hostility towards Genevieve, calling her 'vile' and ignoring her cries.
The baby was strapped face down for over 90 minutes as punishment for not sleeping long enough.
Roughley failed to conduct adequate checks, leading to the baby's death from asphyxiation.
Genevieve's parents described the loss as destroying their family and leaving an enduring void.
