I'm too scared to go out, says 'saline' nurse

The nurse cleared of three hospital poisonings revealed today that she is too scared to leave the house alone.

Rebecca Leighton, 27, below, spoke of her "horrendous" experience of being charged over the deaths of elderly patients at a hospital in Stockport from suspected saline drip sabotage.

She said: "I am living with my parents, I can't go outside my house without people taking pictures of me. Because of how the media portrayed me to be this person - they couldn't have been more wrong - the public will have built up an opinion about me."
