LONDON, United Kingdom - A British nurse was jailed for life on Monday, with no prospect of release, for murdering seven newborn babies and attempting to kill six others while they were in her care.
Lucy Letby, 33, was convicted of killing five baby boys and two baby girls, making her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern history.
Following a trial that started in October, a jury at Manchester Crown Court ended more than 100 hours of deliberations on Friday.But she was not in the dock for the final verdicts and refused to come up from the cells for her sentencing on Monday. "You have no remorse," the judge said, ordering her to be given a written copy of the sentencing remarks and the families' victim impact statements.Goss said that"because the seriousness of your offences are exceptionally high, I direct that the early release provisions do not apply".
Letby's absence on Monday meant she did not hear the families' victim impact statements about how her crimes affected them, which were heard before the sentencing. After the death of the two triplets in June 2016, Letby was removed from the neonatal unit and placed on clerical duties. She also sent a sympathy card to the grieving parents of a child she was later found guilty of murdering.
