A former neonatal nurse in the UK has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others. Lucy Letby, who demonstrated a complete lack of remorse, was described by the judge as cruel, cunning, and callous, with actions that bordered on sadism. Letby carried out these heinous acts while under the duty of caring for vulnerable newborns, injecting them with air, poisoning them with insulin, and force-feeding them milk. She would then go on to grieve over their deaths, creating keepsakes for the parents and bathing the lifeless bodies before burial. The parents of the victims, who spoke during the sentencing, expressed their profound grief and anger, revealing that Letby tore their lives apart and turned their most precious moments into nightmares. Letby’s absence during the sentencing, allowed under British law, has led to calls for changes in the legal system to ensure criminals hear the impact of their crimes firsthand. The Countess of Chester Hospital, where the murders occurred, will be subject to an independent inquiry to assess the hospital’s response to the rise in neonatal deaths. Meanwhile, doctors at the hospital have stated that their concerns about Letby were not taken seriously, possibly resulting in further deaths that could have been prevented. Letby was finally removed from her position in June 2016 and was apprehended at her home in July 2018. Investigation evidence revealed Letby’s chilling confession, where she confessed to purposefully killing the babies because she felt she wasn’t competent enough to care for them. The sentencing has brought a small measure of closure to the grieving families, though their pain will never fully heal from the loss experienced due to Letby’s actions.
