The 33-year-old nurse injured infants by injecting air into their veins, overfeeding them with milk, hitting them, and giving them insulin poisoning. Throughout 2015 and 2016, Letby specifically targeted newborns in the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. She wanted to appear convincing to her coworkers that the fatalities were accidental.

Not only this, but also the handwritten notes found in her home included disturbing messages like “I am evil; I did this.” The case, as well as Lucy Letby, has become a hot topic of discussion with relatives of the victims who struggle to understand these awful occurrences and voice immeasurable anguish.

Lucy Letby was suspected of having a secret affair with a married doctor who became her ‘best friend’ while she was murdering babies at work. She is unmarried.

An independent inquiry has been set up to understand how Letby was able to carry out the killings and attempt six others before being reported to the police and the reasons why Letby, a neonatal nurse, committed the murders may never be fully understood, although prosecutors and other experts told jurors during her trial of several possible motivations.

One motivation put forward by the prosecution was that Letby attacked and killed babies to gain the sympathy of a doctor who she had become “infatuated” with.

Her career

Beginning as a student nurse, Lucy Letby invested three years in her training and completed internships at the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

Her career path formally began in 2011, when she accepted a position as a registered nurse in the newborn section of the Countess of Chester Hospital.

However, the trajectory of Letby’s career took a turn in June 2016 when consultants recommended her removal from clinical duties due to concerns about her conduct. In July 2016, she changed over to the patient experience team.
