Jello Posted October 10, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It sadly seems like more and more sickos like this are coming out of the woodwork these days. I look forward to the justice system giving her what she deserves, although she deserves a lot worse than they can legally do. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With crimes as heinous as THIS, I prefer to believe insanity is the cause. For a trained professional to target babies, over and over, would take a level of evil that is unimaginable to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrissyGal2 Posted October 18, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Poor little innocent babies! How on earth can a human be that evil and cruel? I suspect that there is an underlying story here. Either she has lost one or more infants of her own, or found out she can't have babies. Maybe something happened to send her into a permanent state of evil. I don't know and don't want to, because nothing could excuse this vicious insanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted October 10, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted October 10, 2022 A "poisoner was at work" at a hospital where there was a "significant rise" in the number of healthy babies dying, a court has heard. Lucy Letby has been accused of murdering five baby boys and two girls, and attempting to murder 10 other babies at Countess of Chester hospital. Nick Johnson KC, prosecuting, said she was a "constant malevolent presence" in the hospital's neonatal unit. Ms Letby, 32, of Hereford, denies 22 charges at Manchester Crown Court. Jurors heard Ms Letby is alleged to have tried to kill one child three times, while another died as a result of being injected with air.

The jury has been told the trial may last up to six months. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-63201201 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted August 18, 2023 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies on a neonatal unit, making her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-65960514 Hospital bosses failed to investigate allegations against Lucy Letby and tried to silence doctors, the lead consultant at the neonatal unit where she worked has told the BBC. The hospital also delayed calling the police despite months of warnings that the nurse may have been killing babies. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66120934 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
