Colin Norris: Leeds murder case nurse loses appeal
0 Comments | Yorkshire Evening Post (Leeds, England), Dec 21, 2009
> Colin Norris was not present for the ruling by Court of Appeal judges in London.
Norris, from Egilsay Terrace, Glasgow, was jailed for life in March last year after being convicted of killing the vulnerable women in 2002 by giving them massive doses of insulin while working at Leeds General Infirmary and St James’s Hospital.
He was convicted at Newcastle Crown Court of four counts of murder and one of attempted murder following a lengthy trial.
Lord Justice Aikens, sitting with two other judges, ruled today that his convictions were “safe”.
He announced that the case against Norris, 33, was “very strong indeed”.
