Ravinder Kaur Was Accused of Poisoning Her Boss<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Birmingham based women has said her life has been \u201cruined\u201d after walking free from a trial that accused her of poisoning her boss with mercury. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ravinder Kaur, 37, a dental nurse, said her career had been \u201cleft in tatters\u201d after going through two trials that claimed she had spiked her boss\u2019s Laura Knowles\u2019s coffee in a revenge attack for being disciplined. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Both times a jury tailed to reach as Miss Kaur denied all charges against her. The Crown Prosecution Service, who has earlier charged her with administrating a noxious substance with intent, has now dropped the case against her. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cIt has been a horrifying, terrifying experience that has left me scarred. I am a broken person. My dignity and my career have been destroyed. My life has been put on hold for two years, it has made me very unwell. I cannot describe the traumatic effect this has had on me.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has also taken a toll on the lives of my family in Birmingham who have stood by me throughout. I have been stigmatised and victimised.\u201d A jury of eight women and four men deliberated for 11 hours at Blackfriars Crown Court last month before being discharged when they could not deliver a verdict.\u201d <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The court heard how there had become ongoing tensions between Miss Kaur and other members of staff at the dental surgery in Shefford, Bedfordshire.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Having already been disciplined twice by Miss Knowles, she was given a final warning by her for \u201callegedly leaving a patient unattended in the dental chair\u201d an allegation Miss Kaur denies.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Prosecuting, Laura Blackband said, \u201cThe Crown\u2019s case is that Ms Kaur, acting out of spite or revenge, took a capsule or a number of capsules of mercury, and tipped it into a mug and handed the cup of coffee to Ms Knowles to drink.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Miss Kaur said, \u201cWould I really commit a crime that would be detected in two minutes? It\u2019s bizarre. I do not feel bitter, I just feel very relieved. Would I go back into dentistry? No, thank you very much \u2013 and I definitely won\u2019t be making tea and coffee for anyone in the future.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Whilst, a spokesman for the CPS said, \u201cThe long and short of it is that the Crown have decided they don\u2019t wish to proceed further in this matter.\u201d<\/div>\n
