A nurse murdered three patients and poisoned 18 others by contaminating saline with insulin "completely at random", a court has heard.

Victorino Chua, 49, also altered prescribed dosages at Stockport's Stepping Hill Hospital, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said the nurse's actions made it a "lottery" as to who received contaminated products.

Mr Chua, of Heaton Norris, denies 36 charges, including three of murder.

The alleged offences against 21 patients are said to have taken place between June 2011 and January 2012.
