last that I heard, she had been released on bail after being arrested over Chester Hospital baby deaths.

After all the publicity she as been given, don't say this is yet another case where the police have got it wrong.

Strange case to say the least. If the police had any evidence then why is she on bail?
and why was she named?
possibly named because otherwise all the other nurses would be under suspicion?

Anyway, it will take a while to gather all the evidence, they'll have to go through all the records, interview families etc
ummmm, I think the rule is that everyone gets bail unless there's specific evidence that they might abscond. (Not sure of this, no doubt the AB legal eagles could set me right.)
...and I assume she's not being allowed to work in the hospital while on bail and checks will be made to prevent her disappearing
"... yet another case ..." etc etc

Wow, you can almost hear the glee behind that implication.
In most cases, Jno, but I wouldn't expect that for murder. I would have thought she'd be put on remand.
FF...wouldn't they confiscate her passport?
NJ is best to comment on this but for now I'll have to do.

This is "police bail" - I assume it is pre-charge. It can be subject to conditions (such as not leaving the country or not contacting the victim). It can last for 28 days, but can be extended up to 3 months. This will normally happen whilst enquiries are ongoing. They would be unlikely to remand her in custody at this stage since then they are up against custody time limits which in a case like this could soon expire before they have enough evidence to charge.

Once she has been charged (if she is indeed going to be charged) her bail status may well change.
Worrying though that murderers could be released on bail (not saying she's guilty though)
