Lucy Letby breaks down in tears as she denies murdering seven babies
Asked why one note read "I am evil, I did this" she said: "I felt at the time that if I'd done something wrong I must be such an evil, awful person... I'd somehow been incompetent and had done something wrong which had affected those babies.
Letby told the court about the three times she was arrested by police on suspicion of murder and attempted murder of babies. She claimed she has since been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is sensitive to loud noises.She added: "Because I have always prided myself on being very competent and, potentially, I was not competent, it really affected me and I was taken away from the job I loved.
