Have you met Lucy Letby ?

[brightonchicka]

Just curious - watched documentary and i am convinced of her guilt and intrigued by her apparent wolf in sheeps clothing demeanour - Just wondering if anyone HAS met her /encountered her and what she is like ?!

@FanofLeaves isnt it crazy how they had full careers without it coming out … just whispers !

Well yes, you mostly do.

Especially with a reply like that, which made it pretty crystal clear it was a joke 🙄

You do. Really. You absolutely do know.

I'll bite.

I met her a few times through a friend who worked in the same hospital. Different department. I thought she was just a normal person. We talked at a table in a pub about reality tv shows, the weather, holidays.Took her turn at buying the drinks. She didn't say anything about her job, didn't talk about crime or murder. Just an ordinary friend of a friend.

I can’t say I agree with it but the world is full of documentaries and podcast etc about murderers and serial killers. So many people seem to be interested in true crime. Not sure now this is any different.

I have humour, but that wasn't that funny.

No, but I met Harold Shipman on a few occasions (he lived near me and this was pre everyone finding out he murdered over 200 people but this was mid-murder spree). He seemed perfectly normal. His kids and wife were a bit weird (not creepy just a bit, well, odd - but so are lots of people) but he seemed all right. He was GP to a few friends of mine and their parents and they all adored him and thought he was a brilliant GP.

A serial killer doesn't need to look evil. And someone who "looks" evil (whatever that looks like) might be perfectly lovely.

Not been on mn long then have you?

There are all kinds of people who make shit up and swear blind its true, I would share but its against the rules to troll hunt

Jimmy Saville - at a friends fathers 80th birthday party (big family do, they were slightly related to him)
The other two - HMP Durham!

She’s joking.

Well if serial killers went round ‘being evil’ all the time and putting the wind up people whenever they talked to them and looking dodgy they wouldn’t go very far as serial killers. Part of the success is ordinariness or in some cases charm.

@Darragon Do you live in Midsomer by any chance?!

I used to have a job where I met people convicted of very serious/disturbing crimes. 99% of them were just your average person on the street, if you didn't know.

I think some people like to think we have some sort of "radar" to just know who we should avoid. Or that they will be "weird" in some way to warn us of danger. It doesn't work like that.

I don't know if LL is guilty or innocent, I'm on the fence. But plenty of somewhat odd people are not guilty of anything. I still remember the Christopher Jeffries case, that was a prime example.

How did you know it was her if this nonsense happened before she was "famous"

She’s joking (obviously)

This!

I think you cannot go by initial impressions a lot of the time. Even if I had met Lucy Letby which I haven't.

People are often not what they seem.

Jimmy Saville is awful though of course. In the 1980s I worked at the BBC for a short while and it felt deeply institutionalized with an us and them mentality and an unquestionable authority. Thankfully I got out of there fairly fast. Two years was enough.

Apparently this is a joke.

You’re just making yourself look silly now. Where did anyone swear blind it was true? honestly, lighten up or go and browse the knitting section .

Reported for your childish name calling

We need to be reading this with a Bristolian accent as per Vicky Pollard- yes?

I didn’t. My friend Chantelle said it was her.

@User505351 interesting ! Does your friend believe she is guilty ?
