Lucy Letby has been convicted of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six more.

My thoughts are with the families of the victims.

Simply heartbreaking

Hopefully it provides a little bit of closure to the poor families.

SuperBurgers · 18/08/2023 13:15

I just dont know how I feel about this case. In all fairness I do not know the ins and outs, but it just seems so wild to me that a human can think, feel and act this way.

Ostryga · 18/08/2023 13:15

Those poor families. Hopefully this brings them some closure.

MajesticWhine · 18/08/2023 13:16

It was too much to be a coincidence or poor practice. I hope this brings some relief to the bereaved parents.

Breaking on Sky News now.
Letby is the most prolific child killer in U.K. legal history.
Police are now looking into the deaths of several other children.

Unthinkable crimes.

The scary part is she looks so bloody normal, just a couple of years younger than me, someone I could go out for drinks with. She looks happy in her photos... just how does this happen? How can people be this twisted? What was she getting out of it?

the80sweregreat · 18/08/2023 13:19

It is unbelievable and seems the management are also to blame as well :(
Those families were so badly let down all round

This is utterly chilling.

Those poor babies and their families.

Tragic. The evidence was compelling though.

Wenfy · 18/08/2023 13:23

Will this open up cases at previous hospitals she worked at? I imagine she has killed far, far more.

35965a · 18/08/2023 13:24

Such an awful case, those poor families.

Mischance · 18/08/2023 13:25

The scariest thing is how long it went unnoticed.

Mojodojocasahaus · 18/08/2023 13:25

Jesus. Wtaf. How could she do such a thing it’s incomprehensible. Why would she do it?

ForTheLoveOfSleep · 18/08/2023 13:25

She didn't appear for the verdict. What a cowardly, psychotic, cunt. I hope they force her to appear for sentencing.

PickledMuffin · 18/08/2023 13:25

Shocking. As for the other cases which the police will be looking into, I have a hunch more cases will confirmed 😞

Clefable · 18/08/2023 13:25

Terrifying. Those poor babies and their families. It just beggars belief.

@ForTheLoveOfSleep I couldn't agree more.

socksie · 18/08/2023 13:27

Those poor poor families. Their lives are forever altered. And those wee babies - there are no words.

I hope she gets the harshest sentence possible.

FloNightingale · 18/08/2023 13:27

I hope she lives every day in fear of what other prisoners will do to her. That is still not enough for that evil bitch. Those poor babies.

CantGetABreak · 18/08/2023 13:27

It did seem too coincidental to be anything else. I wonder if she has mental health issues - not that it in anyway excuses it! I just struggle to see how / why she would do this otherwise and she seems so genuinely to oscillate between self loathing and believing that she's blameless. Bizarre. Poor poor parents.

She did appear for some. Apparently it's taken several days
