The murders of Deborah Ann Carson, Nicholas John Scott and Martin Stuart Langhorne is a triple murder that took place in Blackpool Victoria Hospital in 1972.^[1]

Early in the morning of 17 February 1972 Jordanian Dr. Ahmad Saded-Din Alami, a 32 year old eye specialist, entered the first floor children's ward and asked for sleeping tablets from Staff Nurse Dorothy Simpson. When refused, Dr. Alami attacked the Staff Nurse with a knife and also student nurse Christine Nuttall, who came to her aid. The injured Staff Nurse Simpson raised the alarm via a telephone.

Dr. Alami then murdered Nicholas John Scott (2), Deborah Ann Carson (4) and Martin Langhorne (1) by stabbing them in their cots and attempted to murder Darren Qamar (2).

Following a manhunt and arrest, on 18 February 1972 Dr. Alami was charged with the murder of one of the children.^[2] On 3 March 1972 Dr. Alami was charged with the three murders and three attempted murders.^[3]
