Where Did Lucy Letby Live
Lucy Letby will die in prison as she refused to attend her sentencing when the families of the victims described it as “One final act of wickedness”. On August 18, 2023, a jury convicted Lucy Letby of murdering seven newborn children and attempting to murder six others while working at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital. She was found guilty of the crimes that happened between 2015 and 2016. Shift to the next section and read more details.
Mr. Justice Goss at Manchester Crown Court said there was “premeditation, calculation, and cunning in your actions” before handing down a whole life order. Justice Goss told the nurse, “You acted in a way that was completely contrary to the normal human instincts of nurturing and caring for babies and in gross breach of the trust that all citizens place in those who work in the medical and caring professions. The babies you harmed were born prematurely and some were at risk of not surviving, but in each case you deliberately harmed them, intending to kill them.”
In fact, Mr. Justice Goss also appeared emotional at times while addressing the nurse. He added that Lucy had abused the trust shown by the parents for taking care of their children. He went on to add, “By their nature and number, such murders and attempted murder by a neonatal nurse entrusted to care for them is a case of very exceptional circumstances. This was a cruel, calculated, and cynical campaign of child murder.” He sentenced her to a whole life which means she will die in prison.
