The worst recent baby serial killer in the United Kingdom is a nurse who was found guilty of killing seven babies and trying to kill six more at the hospital where she worked.
According to evidence presented at Manchester Crown Court in northern England, 33-year-old Lucy Letby injured the infants under her care by injecting air into their blood and stomachs, overfeeding them with milk, physically abusing them, and poisoning them with insulin.
During their investigation, police searched Letby’s home and discovered a number of handwritten notes, one of which read: “I am evil I did this”.
She secretly attacked 13 babies on the neonatal ward at the Countess of Chester hospital between 2015 and 2016, Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said in a statement.
Prosecutors contended that she intended to kill the infants while deceiving her coworkers into thinking there was a natural cause of death.
Victims’ families said they “may never truly know why this happened.”
“To lose a baby is a heartbreaking experience that no parent should ever have to go through,” a joint statement said.
“But to lose a baby or to have a baby harmed in these particular circumstances is unimaginable,” the statement added.
“Justice has been served and the nurse who should have been caring for our babies has been found guilty of harming them.
“But this justice will not take away from the extreme hurt, anger and distress that we have all had to experience.
“We are heartbroken, devastated, angry and feel numb.”
On August 21, Letby will be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court.
