Cheshire Constabulary/AFP via Getty Images(LONDON) Former British nurse Lucy Letby was sentenced on Monday to spend the rest of her life in prison after being found guilty in the worst child serial killer case in the modern history of the U.K.
She was convicted in Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. She was first arrested in 2018.
Some infants were killed by injecting them with air, others were force-fed milk and two were poisoned with insulin, court documents said.
In a televised sentencing, Judge James Goss addressed the murder of each baby and said that there was "a deep malevolence bordering on sadism" in Letby s actions.
"This was a cruel, calculated, and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children," he added.
Letby refused to attend the sentencing to listen to the judge and the families
