Murder-accused nurse ‘bullied at hospital’

A nurse accused of murdering and poisoning patients was getting bullied at the hospital where he worked, a court heard.

Victorino Chua was a “very good nurse” but did not get on well with some other nurses where he worked at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, Manchester Crown Court was told.

The 49-year-old is accused of murdering three patients and poisoning 18 others by secretly injecting insulin into saline bags which were then used by “unsuspecting” other nurses while treating patients on wards A1 and A3 at the hospital.
