Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven infants in a British hospital.
Letby, 33, killed five infant boys and two infant girls at Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016. In addition to her murder convictions, she was also convicted of attempting to murder six other babies. The 11-person jury was undecided on the attempted murder of a further four babies., prosecutor Nick Johnson said during closing arguments in June that Letby used lethal air injection on at least 12 of her alleged victims.
“Ultimately, the only person that can answer that in respect to why is Lucy Letby herself” he said. “As [with] any investigation, the foundation’s around following the evidence and not speculating on motive so where motive is interesting when you can find it, it’s not something we deploy a massive amount of resources into it because, it’s more about the evidence."
“Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever know unless she chooses to tell us,” he continued. “In respect of the interviews, I don’t think anything came out of the interviews.” Earlier in the trial, which began in Oct. 2022, jurors in Manchester Crown Court heard excerpts from an interview between the killer nurse and a police detective shortly after her arrest in November 2020.During the interrogation, Letby explained why she photographed a sympathy letter, which was received by the bereaved parents of one of the seven newborns she killed, a few weeks after the infant, known in court only as Child I, died on Oct. 23, 2015.
"I think it was nice to remember the kind words that I had shared with that family," Letby said at the time.
