- Murder girl's mum loses damages bid
The Mirror
A MOTHER who claimed she became a suicidal psychological
wreck after her daughter's brutal murder lost a fight
for compensation yesterday.
Beverley Palmer, 40, demanded pounds 200,000 from a
health authority responsible for the care of the man
who abducted and killed the three-year-old. Shaun Armstrong,
37, was jailed for life for snatching Rosie Palmer and
mutilating her body after she bought a lolly from an
ice cream van outside her home in June, 1994.
Armstrong was known to have psychiatric problems and
had threatened to kill children. He was released from
Hartlepool general hospital, Cleveland, in 1993.
Mrs Palmer, a former nurse, alleged the hospital, Hartlepool
and East Durham Trust and Tees Health Authority should
have realised there was a serious risk of him committing
offences against children.
But the Court of Appeal backed a High Court ruling rejecting
the negligence claim. |
