Baby attacked, caught and says "Believe me"... Nurse who killed 7 newborns shocks UK

Murdered Just One Day After Birth
"The Worst Serial Killer in Modern History"

Britain was shocked by the existence of a nurse who worked in a neonatal unit at a British hospital and killed 7 newborns and attempted to kill 6 more.

According to British media including the BBC, nurse Letby (33 years old) worked in the neonatal unit at Countess of Chester Hospital in England from June 2015 to June 2016, during which she killed 5 boys and 2 girls.

Letby, who became known as the worst child serial killer in modern British history, had victims including premature babies and twins. One baby was killed just one day after birth.

Letby also attempted to kill a female baby 4 times. After being caught by the mother attacking a newborn, she boldly responded, "Believe me. I am a nurse."

She deliberately injected air into the babies or force-fed them milk. Two were poisoned with insulin.

A note found after Letby’s arrest read, "I deliberately killed the babies. I am a terrible and evil person. Doing this makes me evil."

However, Letby denied the charges and showed tears. She also claimed that the hospital’s hygiene standards were poor and that there were problems with the staff’s abilities.

The prosecution described her as cold-blooded, cruel, and someone who continuously changed her story with calculated lies.

Letby was acquitted of two attempted murder charges, and the jury failed to reach a verdict on six attempted murder charges related to four babies. The trial lasted a staggering 10 months. According to the BBC, this is expected to be the longest murder trial in British history.

The sentencing will take place on the 21st. Letby has stated that she will not attend any further court proceedings.

Letby had previously been arrested in 2018 and 2019. On both occasions, she was released on bail under the condition of further investigation and was not formally charged. She worked as a trainee at Chester Hospital for three years before completing the child nursing course at Chester University in 2011.
