British nurse Lucy Letby has been handed a rare whole-life prison sentence for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others in the English city of Chester. Letby was convicted of killing five baby boys and two baby girls and attacking other newborns between June 2015 and June 2016.
Letby became the fourth woman to receive a whole life order after Myra Hindley, Rose West and triple killer Joanna Dennehy. It is likely she will be locked up in HMP Low Newton in Durham.
