The morning of 9 May 2022 had started like any other for Katie Wheeler, by dropping off her nine-month-old daughter Genevieve at nursery and telling her: “I love you sweetie.”
Despite thinking she would be in a protected environment, Genevieve, known as Gigi to her loved ones, would be found unresponsive hours later. Nursery worker Kate Roughley had swaddled Gigi so tightly that she had been unable to move, and had placed her face down on a bean bag, leaving her to suffocate over a period of 90 minutes at Tiny Toes in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
