Hello. My names muted i from cheshire police. Can we step in two seconds . Oh, yes. This is the moment when the net closed in. Yep, not a problem. In tears, lucy letby is brought out of her house under arrest and taken away. It seemed unbelievable a neonatal nurse, a protector of the most vulnerable members of society. Lucy letby had worked at the countess of chester Childrens Hospital since 2012. In early 2015, she qualified to work in the neonatal high dependency and intensive care units. Onjune 8 that year, she committed her first murder. For the next 12 months, the attacks continued. Injune 2016, two babies died in two days. 0n the third day, another baby collapsed. Letby was taken off clinical duties. Two years later, letby was arrested for the first time. Police found medical records under her bed and hand scrawled notes. I am a horrible, evil person, one says. I am evil. I did this, says another. I dont deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because im not good enough to care
