She was also found guilty of the attempted murders of six others
Lucy Letby has been convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others at a hospital neonatal unit. Prosecutors said Letby, 33, was a “calculated opportunist” who used the vulnerabilities of premature and sick infants to camouflage her acts.
But Letby was not removed from the unit until after the deaths of two triplet boys and the collapse of another baby boy on three successive days in June 2016. Letby was confined to clerical work and in September 2016 registered a grievance procedure. Also found during searches, the court heard, were more than 250 shift handover sheets containing names of some of the children on the trial indictment. Mr Johnson said “voyeuristic tendencies” drove her to carry out numerous Facebook searches for parents of children she attacked.
She burst out crying as she left the courtroom with prison officers as relatives of the victims looked on from the public gallery. Her mother Susan, 63, shielded her face as she wept on the opposite side of the public gallery and was comforted by husband John, 77, who later leaned forward with his head in his hands.
Letby was not in the dock as the above verdicts were returned as she did not want to come up from the cells. She was earlier present when the jury resumed its deliberations at the start of the court day. Letby police to review 4,000 neonatal unit admissions Detectives are continuing to review the care of some 4,000 babies admitted to hospital while Lucy Letby was working as a neonatal nurse.
