The baby killer nurse Lucy Letby will die in prison after she was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of another six.
Lucy Letby was handed a whole life order making history as the fourth woman in British history to get such a sentence. Whole-life orders, the country’s worst penalty, are only given to offenders who have committed the most terrible crimes.
The 33-year-old, nicknamed Britain’s most prolific child killer, has already served time in four separate jails since her arrest in 2018. Her new normal, though, is expected to look very different. A whole life order eliminates any chance of a convict’s case to be reviewed by a parole board.

The Angel of Death nurse’s terror reign at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016 resulted in seven murders and six attempted murders, which she was convicted guilty of last week.
According to evidence presented in court, Lucy Letby is accused of intentionally injuring defenseless infants in a number of ways, including injecting air intravenously, giving milk and/or air into the stomach through nasogastric tubes, poisoning intravenous feeds with insulin, interfering with breathing tubes, and occasionally inflicting trauma.
You acted in a way that was completely contrary to the normal human instincts of nurturing and caring for babies and in gross breach of the trust that all citizens place in those who work in the medical and caring professions. The babies you harmed were born prematurely and some were at risk of not surviving, but in each case, you deliberately harmed them, intending to kill them. By their nature and number, such murders and attempted murder by a neonatal nurse entrusted to care for them is a case of very exceptional circumstances. This was a cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of child murder. There was a malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions.
the judge said as he handed his sentence in the case.
