The jury in the trial of a nursery worker accused of the manslaughter of a baby girl have retired for a second day to consider their deliberations.

READ MORE: Finally, the full truth of Greater Manchester teacher Rebecca Joynes' sex crimes can be told On May 9 Genevieve’s parents dropped her off at the nursery. Less than an hour after arriving Ms Roughley swaddled Genevieve in a blanket and put her in a cot face down with a blanket pulled over her. Ms Roughley then placed a sheet over the far end of the cot, restricting visibility, the court heard.

Staff and then paramedics attempted to revive Genevieve but her condition was irreversible and she was pronounced dead later that day in hospital. Her cause of death was later recorded as a combination of asphyxia and pathophysiological stress.
