Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies in her care
When it was answered, police officers from Cheshire Constabulary filed in and told Letby she was being arrested on suspicion of multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Lucy Letby was born in Hereford on January 4 1990 to furniture retail boss Mr Letby, then aged 44, and accounts clerk Mrs Letby, then 29.
Messaging a friend who had joked about emigrating to New Zealand, Letby said: “I couldn’t leave my parents. They would be completely devastated. Find it hard enough being away from me now and its only 100 miles. She started working full time there from January 2012 as a Band 5 nurse and three years later qualified to work with infants who needed intensive care.
She told the court her health was “fine” in 2015 and 2016, although in 2015 she had been diagnosed with optic neuritis, a condition caused by inflammation of the optic nerve which can cause pain and blurred vision. As she was placed in the back of a police car during her first arrest she told an officer, who offered to move the front passenger seat forward, that she had recently undergone knee surgery.She told the court: “It was just the most scariest thing I’ve ever been through. It not only happened once, it happened twice and a third time.
