A neonatal nurse in a British hospital has been found guilty of killing seven babies and trying to kill six others.
Lucy Letby was charged with murder in the deaths of five baby boys and two girls, and the attempted murder of five boys and five girls, when she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwest England between 2015 and 2016. – A neonatal nurse in a British hospital was found guilty Friday of killing seven babies and trying to kill six others
She was also accused of poisoning infants by adding insulin to intravenous feeds and interfering with breathing tubes.A jury of seven women and four men deliberated for 22 days before reaching the verdict. One juror was excused well into deliberations for personal reasons and the judge later gave the remaining 11 jurors the option of reaching a verdict with 10 people in agreement instead of a unanimous decision.
They alleged that Letby was on duty in all the cases and described her as a “constant malevolent presence” in the neonatal unit when the children collapsed or died. They said the nurse harmed the babies in ways that did not leave much of a trace, and that she persuaded her colleagues that the collapses and deaths were normal.
Prosecutors said a Post-It note found at Letby’s home after she was arrested in 2018 on which she wrote “I am evil, I did this” was “literally a confession.” He also claimed that four senior doctors pinned blame on Letby to cover up failings in the neonatal unit.“I only ever did my best to care for them,” she testified. “I am there to care not to harm.”
