'It's horrendous, knowing what we know now.'
The grieving parents of a tiny baby murdered by Lucy Letby have recounted the chilling moment she attempted to "savour their son's dying moments for herself".
Child C's mum added: "It's horrendous, knowing what we know now. It took us aback at the time because it didn't fit with the circumstances of what was happening - we were having this private and very difficult moment that went on for several hours. She told the inquiry: "I haven't got any physical memories of my son that were not packed in the box by Lucy Letby."
After their son's death the family endured a painstaking battle for the truth as details of more baby deaths on the unit began to emerge. Child C's mum described her fight to get a copy of the bombshell report by the Royal College of Paediatric Health, which was the first public acknowledgement of higher neonatal death rates at the Countess of Chester.
"As a family we have endured years of anxiety and stress from the initial arrest of Lucy Letby to her conviction. The events of that night and everything that has happened since have left an indelible mark upon us, one that will stay with us for the rest of our lives."
