Killer nurse Victorino Chua refused to talk to police

A nurse has been convicted of murdering two patients and poisoning 20 others at a Greater Manchester hospital.

Victorino Chua killed Tracey Arden, 44, and Derek Weaver, 83, at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport by injecting insulin into saline bags and ampoules.

The father of two, 49, who was cleared of a third murder charge, left one patient with a serious brain injury.

Chua, who was found not guilty of the murder of 81-year-old Arnold Lancaster but convicted of poisoning him, showed no emotion as the verdicts were passed. He will be sentenced on Tuesday.
