UK Nurse Lucy Letby Convicted of Killing Babies and Attempted Murders (Watch)
Her methods included injecting air into their blood and stomachs, overfeeding them with milk, physically assaulting them, and administering insulin to poison them. She targeted 13 babies in the neonatal ward between 2015 and 2016, aiming to deceive her colleagues by making the deaths appear natural. Doctors observed an unusually high number of infant deaths and collapses, prompting a police investigation.
Letby was arrested multiple times and found with notes admitting her guilt.
The CPS described her actions as a severe betrayal of trust. The victims’ families expressed a sense of justice but acknowledged that the pain remains. Letby’s sentencing is scheduled for August 21 at Manchester Crown Court.
