Beverley Allitt: The Angel of Death – Killing in the Children’s Ward

In this harrowing episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale unpacks the disturbing case of Beverley Allitt, a British nurse who turned a children’s hospital ward into a killing ground. Known as “The Angel of Death,” Allitt used her position of trust to inject infants and toddlers with fatal doses of insulin, potassium, and even air, causing seizures, cardiac arrests, and death — all while pretending to be their devoted caregiver. Between February and April 1991, at least four children were murdered and nine others seriously injured at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital in Lincolnshire, all under Allitt’s care. Her motive wasn’t money… it was power. She craved attention, often playing the role of the hero — sometimes even grieving beside the beds of children she had just attacked. With chilling precision, Damien Vale guides listeners through Allitt’s troubled childhood, her manipulative behaviors, the horrifying medical evidence, and the trial that led to 13 life sentences. This episode serves as a haunting reminder that sometimes, the danger isn’t on the street… it’s wearing scrubs.
