Life in Prison for British Nurse Found Guilty of Killing Seven Premature Babies
Lucy Letby
After a nine month trial, British nurse Lucy Letby was found guilty of murdering seven premature babies in a neonatal unit. She was sentenced to life in prison. A jury found her guilty of 14 of the 22 charges she faced.
During the trial, the horrifying details of Letby’s crimes unfolded. In one case, she allegedly “forced” air and fluid into one premature baby boy’s stomach. In other cases, she is said to have injected milk and insulin into the bloodstreams of other babies.
Speculation has suggested the murders were “mercy killings” since many of the infants were premature and needed special care.
Sky News shared how police caught Letby and her disturbing demeanor.
Letby worked with premature infants at Countess of Chester Hospital in Northwestern England from 2015 to 2016.
