Nurse Victorino Chua, who was jailed at Manchester Crown Court for murdering and poisoning patients at Stepping Hill Hospital, today said in a statement issued by his solicitor: "I am completely innocent of any wrong doing. I now face a minimum of 35 years in custody for crimes I did not commit."
Sentencing nurse Victorino Chua to a minimum of 35 years in prison, the judge said the nurse had shown "considerable cunning" when he poisoned and killed patients at Stepping Hill Hospital.
ITV News' Damon Green was at Manchester Crown Court to hear the judge's remarks:
Kathleen Murray told GMB she woke up 'shaking uncontrollably' after being poisoned by Victorino Chua who was the nurse on duty that night.
ITV News has uncovered doubts over how qualified Victorino Chua was before he came to the UK and poisoned patients.
There are suspicions Chua may not have been a qualified nurse
