Killer Nurse Who Murdered Four Patients Loses Conviction Appeals
- Judges dismissed the appeals of Colin Campbell, a Glasgow nurse, against his five convictions on Thursday, June 26, 2025.
- In 2021, the Criminal Cases Review Commission submitted the matter to the Court of Appeal, believing there was a genuine chance the convictions might be unsafe.
- In 2008, Campbell was found guilty at Newcastle Crown Court of killing four senior patients and tried to cause the death of another, following a five-month trial that included testimony from 20 expert witnesses.
- The judges affirmed their confidence in the validity of all five convictions, while Campbell continued to deny any responsibility for causing hypoglycaemia in the patients.
- The appeal rejection upholds Campbell’s life sentence and affirms the original verdict despite defense claims and circumstantial evidence concerns.
