A nurse has been found guilty of the manslaughter of a four-week-old baby who bled to death after a botched home circumcision.
Goodluck Caubergs died the day after Grace Adeleye carried out the procedure without anaesthetic, using only a pair of scissors, forceps and olive oil, a trial at Manchester Crown Court heard.
The 67-year-old is originally from Nigeria, as are the youngster’s parents, where the circumcision of newborns is a tradition for Christian families, the jury heard.
Adeleye, who is also a midwife, was paid £100 for the operation as Goodluck’s parents were not aware the procedure was available on the NHS.
The Royal Oldham Hospital was just a mile and a half from the family home in Chadderton, near Oldham, but by the time an ambulance was called the infant could not be saved, the court heard.
A jury of eight women and four men found Adeleye guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence by a majority verdict of 10 to 2 after deliberating for eight hours and 20 minutes.
Jane Wragg, specialist prosecutor in the CPS Special Crime Division, said: 'Goodluck Caubergs was a healthy little boy whose tragic death was wholly unnecessary.
'This case was not about the rights or wrongs of circumcision, but the grossly negligent way in which the procedure was undertaken. Circumcision is a medical procedure which, like any other, carries very real risks to the patient that must be properly managed. This was not done in this case.
'Goodluck died because the standard of care taken by Grace Adeleye in carrying out the circumcision fell far below the standard that should be applied. She also failed to inform his parents of the risks and possible complications, which ultimately led to his tragic death.'
Sentencing was adjourned for the preparation of pre-sentence reports.
Adeleye, of Sarnia Court, Salford, Greater Manchester, was granted bail with conditions.
THe court heard how she botched the procedure by leaving a 'ragged' wound that bled. Her post-op care was also described as woefully inadequate.
Adrian Darbishire QC, opening the case for the prosecution, told the jury: 'The allegation essentially here is that the care she provided in the course of that procedure was so bad that not only did it cause the death of that young baby wholly unnecessarily, but it amounted to gross negligence and a crime.'


Mr Darbishire said circumcisions were routinely carried out among Christian families in Nigeria who brought the tradition with them to the UK, and the procedure was an 'ancient, well established and widespread' practice across the world.
But the court heard that up to three children a month are admitted to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital due to bleeding after home-based circumcisions - a danger the nurse should have been aware of.
Goodluck was born on March 22, 2010, in Rochdale and died on April 17, the day after the circumcision, aged 27 days.
Adeleye was introduced to the family through a friend as she had performed many circumcisions over the years and offered her 'experience and skill'.

Around 5pm on April 16, Goodluck’s father, Olajunti Fatunla, brought Adeleye by car to the family home — and the nurse sent him immediately to get some Calpol while she and the mother, Sylvia Attiko, prepared for the operation.
Once inside, Adeleye told the boy’s mother to fetch some olive oil and a bowl of warm water and the child was stripped to just his vest.
Adeleye then brought her 'instruments' out of her handbag and dipped a pair of scissors into the water in a kidney dish.

Nurse: Adeleye was introduced to Goodluck's family through a friend as she had performed many circumcisions. She also worked as a midwife
'At that point Sylvia closed her eyes,' Mr Darbishire said.
'Goodluck had had no anaesthetic or local pain relief at this point and that is not how this should be done.
'By the time Sylvia opened her eyes the operation was over. She could see the foreskin between the blades of the scissors.'
Adeleye then cleaned the wound with cotton wool and applied a bandage.
The boy was 'crying throughout' and the wound was bleeding, but Adeleye told the mother this was normal, the court heard.
The defendant left the house between 30 and 40 minutes after surgery and the £100 had been handed over, without any proper checks on the patient after the procedure, it was alleged.
The parents later found the bandage had come off the wound, which was dripping with blood.
Mr Darbishire said even a small amount of blood loss is dangerous and the loss of just one sixth of a pint of blood can be fatal for a newborn.
The concerned parents, who had no medical training, called the defendant around two and a half hours later.
Adeleye told them the bleeding was normal and 'not a problem' and advised a change of nappy and bandage and to apply olive oil.
In fact Adeleye should have advised immediate medical attention.
'To delay and reassure was simply not appropriate,' the prosecutor told the jury.
'His parents remained concerned but they had been reassured by the defendant.'
However, the following morning it was clear something was wrong and at 7.20am an ambulance was called.
Mr Darbishire added: 'I have no doubt there will be much criticism of the parents by their inaction.
'But can I invite you to consider this. One of the hardest things as a parent, especially parents of a young child, is knowing when to be worried and how worried to be.
'But on the other hand no one wants to make a fuss about nothing.'
A post-mortem examination found Goodluck died from blood loss after the op.
Mr Darbishire said: 'His death was wholly unnecessary. He bled to death over a period of many hours when medical assistance, which could have saved his life, was minutes away.'

Just tell the doctor you would like to have the baby circumcised and that's all. No need for doing it in a dodgy way.
