Husband tells inquest of ‘chaos’ at hospital as wife prepared for birth

A husband has claimed that minutes after a mother preparing to give birth was given a pain-killing injection following a flare-up between doctors, “chaos” erupted and medical staff rushed around in a panic.

Sean Rowlette said one doctor became aggressive and pushed another out of the way before injecting the drug.

He was giving evidence at an inquest into the death of wife Sally a day after she gave birth in February last year to their fourth child, Sally Jr.
