Inside The Trial Of Lucy Letby

Last week, 33-year-old nurse Lucy Letby was found guilty of murdering seven newborns, and attempting to kill six others who were under her care in 2015 and 2016. During her time in the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwestern England, her colleagues noticed a significant rise in the number of babies dying and suffering serious collapses in the unit.  Police and medical experts were called in for a large-scale investigation and discovered one common factor linking these occurrences: Lucy Letby.  She's only the fourth woman in UK history to receive a whole-life sentence, earning her the title of Britain’s worst modern day child serial killer.
