The 33-year-old has been convicted of murdering babies while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
A nurse has been found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder others while working on a hospital's neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016.- who was in her mid-20s and working at the Countess of Chester Hospital at the time of the murders - is now the UK's most prolific child killer of modern times.
Letby's mother, Susan, broke down sobbing as her daughter was led away from the dock, whispering"you can't be serious, this can't be right," into her husband's arms.During a later set of verdicts, Letby refused to come up from the cells, and was found guilty of more murders in her absence. "We were first-time parents, we didn't know what was going on," he said. Neither parent suspected Lucy Letby at the time.But Child M has been left with brain damage which his parents say means he may"deviate from his peers" as he grows older.
The jury heard the nurse would misuse medical equipment and medicines to cause babies to unexpectedly collapse across day and night shifts on the hospital's neonatal ward.Two of her last victims were boys, known as Children O and P, who were two of three triplet siblings. Both died within the first week of their lives, and Child O was found with severe liver damage.
