Baby died after being strapped face-down to bean bag by nursery boss, court hears
A nursery deputy manager caused the death of a baby girl who she placed face down, tightly swaddled and strapped to a bean bag for more than an hour and a half, a court has heard.
Kate Roughley, 37, is accused of the manslaughter by ill-treatment of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, who she found unresponsive and blue on the afternoon of 9 May 2022 at the Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
Staff and then paramedics attempted to revive Genevieve, known to her family as Gigi, but her condition was irreversible and she was pronounced dead later that day in hospital.
Opening the case on Tuesday at Manchester Crown
