In a grim revelation, British nurse Lucy
Letby was found guilty of heinous crimes as she confessed to murdering seven
newborn babies and attempting to kill six others in the neonatal unit of a
hospital in northwest England.
The verdict, after a 10-month trial, marked Letby as one of the most prolific
serial child killers in modern British history. The nurse employed various
methods, including injecting infants with insulin or air, and force-feeding
milk.
The youngest victim was merely a day old. The trial unfolded disturbing
handwritten notes left by Letby, in which she described herself as a "horrible
evil person" and admitted to her actions.
The families of the victims expressed profound heartbreak and confusion,
grappling with the senseless tragedy. Letby's sentencing is expected to be
delivered shortly. |
