Nurse guilty on two counts

A NURSE has been found guilty of the attempted murder of two elderly patients at Crewe's Leighton Hospital.

Barbara Salisbury had been accused of trying to kill them to free up more beds.

The 47-year-old ward sister, from Pontybodkin, north Wales, was accused of trying to kill four patients.

She was found guilty of two of the attempted murders by a jury at Chester Crown Court on Friday.

She was cleared of the other two charges.

The jury found her guilty of two counts of the attempted murder of May Taylor, 88, and Frank Owen, 92.

She was earlier found not guilty of the attempted murder of James Byrne, 76, and Reuben Thompson, 81.

All four patients have since died.
