Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies, making her the UK's most prolific child killer of modern times.
Letby, 33, killed seven babies in her care at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016 by injecting them with air.
She was also found guilty of the attempted murders of six others by poisoning them with insulin or “sabotaging” their feeding tubes. One of the babies was 24 hours old when Letby injected him with air, killing him just 90 minutes after she had begun her shift. She tried to kill his twin sister the next day.Jurors deliberated for over 20 days - after her trial which began on October last year.Letby, 33, had denied murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others at the Countess of Chester hospital, in north-west England, where she worked.
She insisted that a number of the babies were the victims of poor care and that they should have been receiving specialist treatment elsewhere. She had told the jury she “only ever did my best to care for them. I’m here to help and to care, not to harm.”
