Who is Lucy Letby, UK's killer nurse?
In June 2015, British nurse Lucy Letby began a two-year killing spree at the Countess of Chester Hospital, murdering seven newborns and attempting to kill eight more. Her victims were primarily infants on the neonatal unit, some as young as one day old. Letby's method was to poison or physically harm the infants with insulin, air, or excessive milk.
Despite multiple warnings from concerned doctors, hospital management failed to act to protect the babies. The Thirlwall Inquiry, which concluded that hospital managers could have prevented more deaths, revealed a complete failure to safeguard the newborns under Letby's care.
