Lucy Letby, who carried out a string of murders on innocent babies in her care, is the fourth woman in Britain to be sentenced to a whole life order for her heinous crimes. This is how her days behind bars will play out…
More than five years ago, officers escorted handcuffed Lucy Letby out of her home and into the back of a police car parked on the street as she was placed under arrest. Today, she was finally put behind bars for good.
Last week, the Angel of Death nurse was found guilty of seven counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder during her campaign of terror at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
She deliberately harmed the innocent babies in various ways, including: injecting air intravenously and administering air and/or milk into the stomach via nasogastric tubes, adding insulin as a poison to intravenous feeds, interferring with breathing tubes and inflicting trauma in some cases.
On Monday, she was sentenced to a whole life order – making her the fourth female criminal in British history to have no hope of parole. To strangers and even loved ones, it looked like evil Letby lived a relatively normal life – she had a good job, socialised with friends, attended salsa classes in the evening and had a girly bedroom filled with inspirational quotes.
