Lucy Letby


Lucy Letby was a children’s neonatal nurse in The Counter of Chester Hospital, where in 2018, she was arrested on suspicion of murdering eight babies. On August 18, 2023, following a nine-month trial and 22 days of jury deliberation, the 33-year-old was found guilty of seven counts of murder, and attempting to kill six others.

Lucy Letby will die in jail after receiving a whole life sentence as the families of her victims slammed her for refusing to attend court. The monster’s sickening death toll makes her the UK’s most prolific killer nurse and Britain’s worst-ever female serial killer.
