The former neonatal nurse’s parents, Susan and Jonathan Letby, supported her throughout the 10-month trial.
Baby killer Lucy Letby was handed a whole life order this week after murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more while working as an NHS nurse. The 33-year-old refused to face her victims’ families in court as they read out harrowing statements telling how she ripped their lives apart.
Letby's mum was reportedly distraught when she was arrested - wailing, crying and even telling police: "I did it, take me instead," in a desperate bid to protect her. Investigators suspect Letby had told them very little details of her horrific crimes before they were laid out in front of them in court.
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 it's only 100 miles. I came here to uni & didn't go back. They hate it & I feel guilty for staying here sometimes but it's what I want."
