Lucy Letby: Neonatal nurse found guilty of murdering newborn babies | ITV News

Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven newborn babies, and attempting to murder a further six more.

The 33-year-old went on a year-long killing spree while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire between 2015 and 2016.

Letby, originally from Hereford, was found guilty of 14 of the 22 counts she faced following a 10-month trial, including the murder of five boys and two girls.

She injected air into the babies via their tubes, causing air embolisms and leaving them unable to breathe, as well as over-feeding some.
