Side to her personality. And it was interesting to get her messages because precisely you could see how hypocritical she was pretending to be very good friends with the nurse and a few messages later on she was calling her incompetent and, you know, undermining everybody in the unit certainly was very gracious to her management who were extremely supportive of her and yet spent her time denigrating her management, saying that there was poor skill mix every single time that she was on shift. All of this provided perfect cover for what she was doing because people thought, well, yes, its true. We we all being stretched. We have babies that have special needs, but its difficult needs, but its difficult for people. Devious personalities have to look the part. Thats not thats not true. And that definitely wasnt true. She looked like The Girl Next Door who liked betting on horses, enjoyed herjob, was trying to be one of the best. But its all about control. Ive rarely come across a personalit
They heard about lucy letby s life and what she was like as a nurse and crucially medical evidence that pointed towards lucy letby as a Serial Killer ofjudgment, one of the most, in fact, the most prolific killer of Serial Killer of children. Our north of england correspondent Judith Moritz followed the case from the start and sent this report. She thought shed get away with it, but this was the moment the game was up. Lucy, is it . My name is. With the cheshire police. Do you mind if i step in for two seconds . Yes. Thank you. Behind the door of this ordinary suburban house, britains most prolific baby killer was finally arrested three years after her murder spree began. Just take a seat there for me, lucy. Ill move that seat forward a bit. Ive just had knee surgery. 0h, right, 0k. She worked here, on the Neonatal Unit at the countess of chester hospital. Her role to care for the most premature and vulnerable infants, but that couldnt have been further from her mind. The crying, ive n
Meeting was held. The medical director, ian harvey, gave a verbal report. He said external reviews had not highlighted any individual as being linked to the deaths and that the trust was ready to draw a line under the issues. The chief executive, tony chambers, said hed met lucy letby and her parents to apologise for what had happened. A statement Written By Letby was read out detailing how hard the past few months had been for her. The meeting decided lucy letby would return to the Neonatal Unit after the paediatricians had written a Letter Apologising to her. This is the letter they sent lucy letby, signed by all seven of the paediatricians in the unit. Against their wishes, they apologised for any inappropriate comments that may have been made, going on to say, we are very sorry for the stress and upset you have experienced in the last year. Though the paediatricians feared being reported to the regulator, they kept going, pressurising executives to call the police, something the tr
And doctors are life savers. They are incredible. And we heard a lot in the trial about thinking the unthinkable. And, you know, no one wanted to think that this could be possible, as you heard there in the clip from the father. How could a nurse on a ward do Something Like this . And i think, you know, the manipulation, the fact that she altered records, she was clever, she was calculating, and she pulled the wool over the eyes of her colleagues who did not think everfor a minute that she was responsible. You know, it started with her being an association. She was in the room. She was around a lot. And that raised concerns. But, you know, i dont think anyone actually thought a nurse was operating in plain sight on a ward and in fact, using the most innocuous of materials milk, air, saline, to attack and kill the babies that shes looking after.
