Dr Sohom Das said the various handwritten notes found by police in Lucy Letby's house are a 'glimpse into her psyche'.
, the defence said the notes were the ramblings of an innocent woman, but consultant forensic psychiatrist, Dr Sohom Das, said these notes give a"glimpse into the psyche" of the most prolific child murderer of modern times in the UK.The notes appeared to be some form of confession, with the words"I am a horrible evil person... I AM EVIL I DID THIS," among a page filled with text.
In another part, she wrote:"I don't deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them." "I can see the defence's angle, as we know Lucy Letby had a degree of anxiety and depression in the background and people particularly with depression have negative cognition, so they can feel guilty and shame even when it is not warranted," Dr Das told Sky News."I believe a tiny part of her felt some sort of remorse or shame even though it wasn't enough to stop her carrying out her heinous killings and it wasn't enough to make her tell the truth during the trial.
When asked what makes somebody"switch" from being a caregiver at the Countess of Chester Hospital to a serial killer, Dr Das suspected Letby"harboured dark murderous thoughts" for some while before actually harming any infant.
