The NSW Supreme Court has heard the deaths of two far north coast nursing home residents may not have been considered suspicious if only one of them had occurred. Nurse Megan Haines is on trial for the murders of Marie Darragh, 82, and Isabella Spencer, 77, at St Andrews Village, Ballina, in May 2014. In his closing address to the jury today, Prosecutor Brendan Campbell described their deaths as “purposeful and deliberate”. Both women had made complaints about Haines, who is accused of injecting them with insulin. Haines had been told complaints had been made and was due to attend a formal meeting.
