A British jury has found the British nurse guilty Lucy Letby bymurder seven babies and try to kill six others in a hospital in the English town of Chester, despite the woman’s efforts to deny any responsibility for these deaths.

Letby, 33, denied the 22 charges against her and blamed the deaths of the newborns on the hospital itself, in particular the poor hygiene or lack of staff.

However, for the Prosecutor’s Office there was no other explanation for the deaths than the intervention of the nurse, who will hear the sentence on Monday. The worker acted on children especially vulnerable, premature or sickwith a series of abuses that occurred between June 2015 and the same month the following year.

letby I used when I was alone and, in some cases, he tried several times to kill the babies, if a first intervention was not enough. Thus, it has been shown that injected babies with air, milk, or insulinamong other products that would end up being “lethal” for children, as pointed out by prosecutor Pascale Jones, who has also accused the nurse of addressing families with “morbid curiosity” and “false compassion”, according to the ‘BBC’ .

Letby was not removed from her post until the death of two triplets and another baby on three consecutive days. Initially, she was relegated to administrative work and appealed the transfer, thanks to which she should have returned to the neonatal unit in March 2017 if the hospital had not contacted the Police then.

Subsequent investigations led to a first arrest of the nurse in July 2018. In subsequent searches at her home, the agents located several notes in which he recognized in a veiled way criminal actions which, in the eyes of the Prosecutor’s Office, served as a written confession. The jury, however, has not agreed on Letby’s guilt in six other attempted murders that were also examined and has acquitted her in two more cases.
