Nurse Who Killed Relative ID'd as Stabbing Victim
Catherine George, who has been flown to a Boston hospital, gave Randall Percival a lethal dose of insulin in 2012.
The Derry woman attacked by her Salem son during an attempted homicide Thursday morning has been identified as a nurse who lost her license after giving her brother-in-law a lethal dose of insulin in October 2012, according to the Eagle-Tribune.
The Eagle-Tribune has identified the woman transported to a Boston hospital due to injuries sustained during the stabbing as Catherine George.
George received a 30-day suspended jail sentence earlier this year for killing her brother-in-law Randall Percival.
Catherine George gave Percival 300 units of insulin, which she claimed to have brought home from her job. George permanently surrendered her nursing license as a result of the federal case against her.
George's son, 18-year-old Thomas George of 103 Cluff Crossing Road, Apt. Q1, was arrested Thursday for attempting to kill his mother. Thomas George alleged tried to elude police by dumping his vehicle in Derry.
