History

Historical Context

In 1991, state-enrolled nurse Beverley Allitt killed four children and harmed nine others during a 59-day spree at Grantham Hospital. Her May 1993 conviction—13 concurrent life terms—relied on pediatrician Roy Meadow’s testimony, linking the crimes to Munchausen-by-proxy, a disorder first described in a 1977 Lancet paper. The case shaped UK child-protection safeguards used in later prosecutions.
