While it looked like she had a relatively normal life, the lengthy trial discovered she was hiding an unfathomable dark side.
Killer nurse Lucy Letby was put behind bars for good today after being handed a whole life order for the horrific murders of innocent children under her care.
Childhood friend Dawn said Letby was grateful to nurses who helped her after her own difficult birth and had always dreamed of becoming a nurse. She said the charges against her were the "most out of character that you could ever put against Lucy". Prosecutors suggested the relationship went beyond that of colleagues. After she was removed from the ward, the two continued to meet outside of work for coffee and restaurant dates, shopping trips, and a visit to her home, where she lived alone. He was described by prosecutors as her 'boyfriend', but Letby insisted: "I loved him as a friend. I was not in love with him."
But it was during this questioning that she appeared to reveal she had a 'boyfriend'. "[Colleague] was a married man, it's not a relationship at all it's a friendship," she said before admitting she did have a boyfriend at this time. It wasn't made clear if this was the same person and no previous partners were mentioned during the trial.
