Evil disguised as a caring nurse,’ was the harrowing way the mother of just one of Lucy Letby’s many victims described the woman now dubbed Britain’s most evil child killer. ‘She took our child away,’ another said. ‘My boys were just a pawn in her sick twisted game,’ another added.
After a 10-month trial at Manchester Crown Court, Lucy Letby, 33, was found guilty of killing seven babies and attempting to murder six more while working as a neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital. She was handed a whole life term, meaning she will die in prison for her crimes.
‘Those lives were not yours to take and although I am torn with sadness, anger and unanswered questions, I cannot forgive you. There is no forgiving. Not now, not ever,’ the mother of Child D said.
During the trial, which began in October 2022, Letby told the court how much she loved her job, arguing that the babies she cared for either died from natural causes or because her colleagues hadn’t provided proper care.
But the prosecution revealed the shocking details of how Letby harmed the vulnerable children she cared for by injecting air bubbles into their tiny veins or using insulin to poison them through intravenous tubes during her murder spree between June 2015 and June 2016.
WILL THERE BE MORE INVESTIGATIONS?
Other parents of babies Letby cared for are demanding police continue with their investigations. Victoria and Mike Whitfield’s daughter Felicity was born prematurely in November 2013. Three days later Victoria experienced a sudden urge to visit her daughter at 3am, and found Letby by her daughter’s cot.
