TRIAL jurors heard statements from the parents of a baby girl who died after allegedly being strapped facedown to a beanbag by a nursery worker – as they spoke of their ‘beautiful daughter’ and her final moments.
Genevieve Zofia Meehan was nine months old when she was found unresponsive at the Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, in May 2022.
Prosecutors allege she was strapped face down to a bean bag by deputy nursery manager Kate Roughley, who swaddled her so tightly in a blanket she was unable to move.
Ms Roughley, 36, allegedly strapped Genevieve with a harness and left her there crying and thrashing for more than half an hour, Manchester Crown Court has heard.
While Genevieve struggled, Ms Roughley ignored her cries and placed a blanket on top of her that covered her almost head to foot, prosecutors have alleged.
Ms Roughley is accused of manslaughter by ill-treatment.
The child was found unresponsive and blue on the afternoon of May 9, 2022.
