Some parents need to get their heads knocked on the wall for being so negligent and careless to allow a quack nurse kill an innocent child.
According to this report, a four-week-old baby bled to death after a botched home circumcision performed by one Grace Adeleye, a quack and wicked nurse who carried out the procedure without anesthetic, using only a pair of scissors, forceps and olive oil.
The prosecutors at the Manchester Crown Court told the jury that the 66-year-old was paid £100 to do the operation as naive parents said they were not aware the procedure was available on the NHS.
The woman denies manslaughter by gross negligence that led to the untimely death of the baby boy.
It is alleged she botched the procedure by leaving a ‘ragged’ wound that bled, and her post-op care was also woefully inadequate.
Adrian Darbishire QC, opening the case for the prosecution, told the jury: ‘The allegation essentially here is that the care she provided in the course of that procedure was so bad that not only did it cause the death of that young baby wholly unnecessarily, but it amounted to gross negligence and a crime.’
Mr Darbishire said circumcisions were routinely carried out among Christian families in Nigeria who brought the tradition with them to the UK, and the procedure was an ‘ancient, well established and widespread’ practice across the world.
A post-mortem examination found the newborn baby died from blood loss after the operation.
Mr Darbishire said: ‘His death was wholly unnecessary. He bled to death over a period of many hours when medical assistance, which could have saved his life, was minutes away.’
The trial, scheduled to last two weeks, was adjourned till Wednesday morning.
Hope she gets the justice she deserved.
