Stockport

Kate Roughley is accused of the manslaughter by ill-treatment of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, who she cared for at Tiny Toes Nursery in Stockport.

The moment a nursery worker realised a baby girl was not breathing after the child was left face down on a bean bag for more than 90 minutes, has been shown to a jury.

The defendant, who is on trial at Manchester Crown Court and denies the charges, had earlier swaddled the youngster in a blanket and put her on her front on to a bean bag.CCTV footage from the baby room showed that one hour and 37 minutes later she approached Genevieve and placed her right hand on the child’s back for several seconds.

Any level of interest in Genevieve’s wellbeing was sporadic and, at best, fleeting, alleged the Crown. "I did it because I knew Genevieve was screaming but if you keep yourself busy you can’t hear her crying.” The defendant went on to use a tablet to take photographs of Genevieve playing – photographs which were often sent to parents, the court has heard.Within an hour, Roughley is seen clapping and singing “Oh Genevieve. Genevieve go home, Genevieve go home, go home Genevieve” as the youngster cries on the play mat.

CCTV captured Genevieve raising her head and legs as well as wriggling on the bean bag as crying can be heard.
