What led to Beverley Allitt becoming one of Britain's most notorious serial killers?
In the UK, all medical staff have an oath where they vow to do no harm to their patients. But nurse Beverly Allitt betrayed that oath in the most diabolical of ways, making her one of the most notorious serial killers in British history. Hello and welcome to Outlaw Podcast. I'm Eleanor Neal and today we're serving you up a true crime case from the vault. This episode was originally posted to my YouTube channel years ago before we existed as Outlaw Podcast, but I think it's time we add it to the Outlaw catalog. So now I will hand back to me from the past to take it away with today's vault case. Oh, and by the way, today's case has multiple parts. This is part one and we'll see you next week for part two.
So today's video is going to be another solved true crime case. Today we're going to be talking about Nurse Beverly Allitt, aka the Angel of Death. Now before we get into it, I do just want to give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone that I talk about in this video. This video is for educational purposes and everything that I'm about to say is just information that I have found on the internet and I'm compiling into one video. There are a lot of content warnings for this case, so I'm just gonna list them all off now, listen closely, and if any of them are topics that you don't wanna listen to right now, I completely understand. Click out of the video here. Throughout this case, there's gonna be a lot of discussion of mental illnesses and things relating to that, including personality disorders, self-harm, anorexia, Munchausen syndrome, and Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
There's also brief mentions of animal abuse, domestic violence, and rape. So if any of the above are things that you don't want to hear about, like I said, click out now. Hopefully I'll get to catch you a different time with a different case, but look after yourself. All that being said, let's just get into part one of the Angel of Death. So today's case begins in Grantham in Lincolnshire, which is in the East Midlands of England. And that is where Beverly Gail Allitt was born on October 4th, 1968. She was the second of four children in her family and she very much had middle child syndrome. You know how they say that the middle child never really gets enough attention from their parents? Whether that's intentional or not, it just kind of like seems to happen.
And she always craved a closer relationship with her parents all the way through her childhood. And I mean, it's not like she was being neglected. I really don't think she was from like the way it's spoken about in sources and stuff. I don't think she was neglected. I think it was just, she wanted more attention than what she was getting. But her parents had to split their attention between four children. So it just wasn't enough for Beverly as she was growing up. And when she joined primary school for the first time and she was like mingling with other kids her age, making friends, and they were talking about their mums and dads, that was when it kind of really hit home for Beverly about like how different her situation was to the other kids.
They would talk about like all the things that they would do with their mum and dad on a weekend, all the places they would go, all the fun things they would do. And Beverly just couldn't relate because she just didn't spend as much time with her parents as other kids did. It made her feel really jealous and she subconsciously started to resent her parents for not being there for her the way that other kids' parents seem to be for their kids. As she grew up and became a teenager, Beverly Allitt gained a significant amount of weight, which made her feel very insecure, just herself, her confidence just went like that. And I think that was less to do with the way that she looked but more to do with the bullying that came with this weight gain.
You know what kids are like, they will pick on anyone for anything that makes them different and for Beverley that was her weight.
