The verdict, following a 10-month trial at Manchester Crown Court, makes Lucy Letby one of Britain's most prolific serial child killers.

KEY POINTS

  • 33-year-old Lucy Letby was convicted on Friday of killing seven babies in the neonatal unit of a hospital in England.

  • A handwritten note found by police officers who searched her home after the arrest read “I killed them on purpose”.

  • Letby will be sentenced on Monday and faces a very long prison term, and possibly a rare full life sentence.

    Had those cases before? Care to elaborate or specify on that I would be greatly interested.

        I’m not buying what you’re selling. She did it clear as day. I don’t know the mental gymnastics you need to go through to convince yourself that she didn’t do it, because it’s truly mind boggling. Who are you trying to blame if it’s not her, NHS, police, the hospital, or the doctors? No, I’m sorry, I just can’t buy what you’re selling. I did read the article, I’ll admit police abuses do occur, I will add I’m American, and our police are much worse then your police forces when it comes to this. The truth, they handled her with kid glove in this case, but she buried herself with a mountain of evidence. I feel the article you linked was more linked to British peoples hate for the Irish. Do miscarriages of justice happen? They can. Do i think that was the case here? No.

          I think you fully misunderstood me. I’m not selling anything except that serious miscarriages of justice have happened in the past (edit: specifically in the UK). I genuinely thought that’s all you were asking.

          I’m not familiar with this case at all and if she’s guilty I hope she fucking rots.
