Lucy Letby was convicted of killing five baby boys and two baby girls at the Countess of Chester hospital and attacking other newborns in 2015 and 2016.
Police looking at possible further attacksA British nurse, who wrote a note stating “I am evil”, was found guilty on Friday of murdering seven newborn babies and trying to kill another six in the neonatal unit of a hospital in northwest England where she worked.
“I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them,” said a handwritten note found by police officers who searched her home after she was arrested. “I am a horrible evil person,” she wrote. “I AM EVIL I DID THIS”. “She did her utmost to conceal her crimes, by varying the ways in which she repeatedly harmed babies in her care.”Letby will be sentenced on Monday and faces a very long prison term, and possibly a rare full life sentence.
Pictures of Letby on social media portrayed a happy and smiling woman with a busy social life, and in one photo she was seen cradling a baby. But, during months of often distressing evidence, her trial heard she was a determined killer. “I have never murdered a child or harmed any of them,” she said. She claimed four doctors had conspired to pin the blame on her for the unit’s failings.
