Lucy Letby: Single word killer nurse had for parents tormented by her 7 baby murders

Lucy Letby, the most prolific child serial killer in modern British history, faces a whole life order when Mr Justice Goss hands down her sentence at Manchester Crown Court later today

The mum of a baby murdered by Lucy Letby has told a court how the killer nurse – absent from her sentencing – only had one word for the parents of her seven helpless victims.

Letby, the most prolific child serial killer in modern British history, faces a whole life order when Mr Justice Goss hands down her sentence at Manchester Crown Court later today. More than a dozen relatives of Letby’s victims sat in the public gallery for the hearing on Monday and eight jurors returned to see the sentencing.

Nicholas Johnson KC, prosecuting, opened his remarks by confirming that the defendant “has refused to come into court”. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak later told reporters that it was “cowardly that people who commit such horrendous crimes do not face their victims”.

And in a statement read to court, the mother of Child D, a full-term baby girl who was murdered in June 2015, said: “Lucy Letby had a chance to say something to us all, parents of the victims, and she had only one word – ‘unimaginable’.
