Irish nanny had ‘violent history’

A bloodstained blanket, pillow, and baby wipes were found at the Boston apartment where a baby girl is believed to have suffered fatal injuries.

An Irish nanny has pleaded not guilty to assault and battery charges.

Court records also show how, on the morning that 1-year-old Rehma Sabir was rushed to hospital last week, a concerned neighbour reported hearing a child crying for nearly 90 minutes. She described how the child’s wailing worsened over that time, becoming “extreme crying”, before it finally stopped.
