The parents of one of the babies which Lucy Letby attempted to murder has told Sky News that she put their family through hell and that what she did is going to affect them for the rest of their lives.To protect the identity of the parents, Sky News has allowed them to speak anonymously - voiced by actors. As discussed, serial killer Letby has previously indicated she does not want to take any part in her sentencing hearing nor follow it via video-link from prison.
She said:"At the moment there is a law in place that can get perpetrators to make sure they go to court. "Lucy Letby should be in court to hear society's condemnation of the enormity of her crimes, expressed by the judge," the source said. "It is a total injustice and slap in the face for us all. The British justice system needs to change, to ensure that, in the future, all victims' voices are heard by those that perpetrate such horrendous crimes."
She had friends and an active social life, holidaying in Ibiza, going on nights out and attending weekly salsa dancing classes.
