Families of Lucy Letby victims express ‘hurt, anger and distress’

A neonatal nurse has been named as the worst child serial killer in modern UK history, after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more.

Families of victims in the Lucy Letby case have expressed their ‘extreme hurt, anger and distress’ in a joint statement. Crown Prosecution Service lawyer Pascale Jones said the families had been exposed to Letby’s ‘morbid curiosity and her fake compassion’.

Lucy Letby carried out the killings between June 2015 and June 2016 on the unit where she worked in the Countess of Chester hospital
