Baby died after being left face-down at Stockport nursery, court hears

Kate Roughley, then deputy manager, accused of causing death of Genevieve Meehan, who was swaddled and strapped to bean bag

A nursery deputy manager caused the death of a baby she placed face-down, tightly swaddled and strapped to a bean bag for more than 90 minutes, a court has heard.

The resulting distressed cries of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, known to her family as Gigi, were “simply ignored”, the jury was told on Tuesday.
