around the murders. the bbc s anna fosterjoined me earlier to discuss the case. anna, what more do we know? how did lucy letby do this? how did she go about carrying out these crimes? well, this has been an extraordinary and shocking trial, one which has lasted nearly ten months and one which has been followed very closely, as you would expect here in the uk. this is a nurse who was working on the neonatal unit at the countess of chester hospital. she was dealing with premature babies, with some of the sickest and most vulnerable children you can imagine. and at a time when she was supposed to be caring for them, when she was supposed to be nurturing them and ensuring their survival, she was instead actively trying to murder them. and in some cases, as we now know, she was succeeding, and she used innocuous methods. it was described by the prosecution, one of them as her favourite method of trying to kill children,
babies, it is unbelievable. she is the most prolific killer of babies in modern british history. lucy letby a nurse responsible for looking after the sickest of newborns. instead she set about killing them. betweenjune 2015 and june 2016 she murdered seven babies and tried to kill six more. she deliberately injected some with air, force fed others with milk and poisoned two of the infants with insulin. she was finally caught after a two year investigation by cheshire police. stuart pollitt was in court for the verdict he joins us now live from manchester crown court. thanks, yes, the trial has been
ten months convicted of killing seven of the babies in her care and attempting to kill six more. she faced 22 charges in total and the jury faced 22 charges in total and the jury are told that all six of the charges, they could not reach a verdict. they were split and could not decide beyond reasonable doubt whether lucy letby had attempted to murder the babies in those cases. but this makes her one of britain s most notorious criminals. it makes are in fact the most prolific killer of children in modern times here in the uk. and this was a case of a young woman, only 33 years old, who was a young nurse who was admired and liked by her peers but who had a secret life, it seems, while she was spending time with friends, while she was posting on social media, going on holidays at the same time while she was scary for some of the sickest, most premature babies in the hospital in the neonatal unit,
if you are showing this to children, it is a crime. [cheers and applause]. shannon: no! and as your resident biblical school ar let us not forget what jesus said that anybody who causes a child stumble better to have a mill stone thrown around their neck and thrown into the bottom of the ocean. the end. kat: that was awesome. i ve never seen a bible verse delivered like that. shannon: i m here for snow in your face. tyrus: that s that first testament stuff before they had the kid. greg: advocating indecent exposure to children. shannon: criminal activity. greg: she is pro pervert and if you re against it you re the problem. andrew: that s the thing sfliet the proposal doesn t surprise me because there s always a sicko in the bunch and nowadays it s being the sickest that s celebrated. this is higher education because this will get celebrated and then they ll over intellectual eyes it, that s a really good point you make because back in
