Lucy Letby - who was in her mid-20s and working at the Countess of Chester Hospital - always denied the charges
Lucy Letby - who was in her mid-20s and working at the Countess of Chester Hospital at the time of the murders always denied the charges. She was found guilty by a series of partial verdicts, delivered several days apart, with the judge issuing reporting restrictions until the end of the trial.
When the first two guilty verdicts were returned, to two counts of attempted murder, on August 8, Letby fought back tears in the dock and then cried as she left the courtroom. Concerns among some consultants about the defendant increased and were voiced to hospital bosses when more unexplained and unusual collapses followed, the court heard. 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.
On one green Post-it note she wrote: “I don’t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them”, “I am a horrible evil person” and in capital letters “I am evil I did this”.
