A British nurse was found guilty Friday of murdering seven newborn babies and trying to kill six others at the hospital neonatal unit where she worked, becoming the UK's most prolific child killer.
The jury, some of whom were in tears after they were discharged, deliberated for 22 days, returning their first guilty decisions on August 8, which could not be reported until Friday because of a court order. Described by the prosecution as a"calculating" woman who used methods of killing that"didn't leave much of a trace", Letby had repeatedly denied harming the children.
Child O died shortly after Letby returned from a holiday in Ibiza in June 2016, while child P died a day after their sibling. During searches at her home, police found hospital paperwork and a handwritten note on which Letby had written:"I am evil, I did this." When she gave evidence at the trial, she insisted she"always wanted to work with children" and said it was"devastating" to find out she was blamed for the deaths.Police are investigating Letby's entire tenure at the Countess of Chester and at the Liverpool Women's Hospital where she also previously worked, sifting through more than 4,000 neo-natal unit admissions between 2012 and 2016.
