- Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies on a neonatal unit, making her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times.
The 33-year-old has also been convicted of trying to kill six other infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
Letby deliberately injected babies with air, force fed others milk and poisoned two of the infants with insulin.
Letby was found not guilty of two counts of attempted murder and the jury could not reach verdicts on six charges of attempted murder.

Imagine being that one remaining triplet knowing you should have been one of 3. Makes me cry. I can't imagine how all the families are doing.
Beyond devastating. 😢💙
Do you think nurses deserve a pay rise after this? Those parents were stabbed in the back.
All the 3 babies clothes, 3 cots, 3 of everything but 1 baby goes home, how evil can 1 person be. Rot in hell Letby. RIH little babies ❤
@@luckyme4136Right let's because of this one woman all of the millions of nurses in the UK must be punished.
You've got some right genius level logic there.
@aaronm97od yes it's a thing. 😢
It isn't often you see pure, unfettered evil in a person, but this is just mortifying. What would compel someone to murder newborn babies is beyond me
There'll always be people like this. Unfortunately, there will also be people like the hospital's management team, who could have prevented some of these babies from dying. Unless we also hold them accountable, it will never stop. It may be a rare occurrence, but it will happen again as we just don't learn.
@@simoncardie9371- Well said!
A serious mental illness I guess!
Evil comes in all disguises 🥲
@@simoncardie9371 yes she should have been sussed ages ago and cameras should be on every ward
Nothing more helpless than a premature baby they can’t ask for help or fight back, absolutely heart breaking for the families involved.
Technically its just a premature clump of cells
So does that make you a old clump of cells?
@@kawaii58204 no, cuz im an adult, so I'm an actual person🤷🏾♂️babies are clumps of cells
@@regulahdegulah1369 they aren’t just clumps of cells they are living human beings just like you were as a baby, so do you see a puppy or a kitten as a clump of cells too ? since you clearly don’t care about you’re own species, dick head
@@regulahdegulah1369 psychopath right here everyone
What I find most terrifying is that the hospital refused to investigate. How many children could have been saved if they just took it seriously?
She is an example of the banality of evil.
It's because the medical field is a business 😢. It's ugly and not what it used to be. People are overworked and money is evil. Shameful
how did she manage to take the lives of those infants
@@draco2xxcame here to find out, WHY?
She made the choice to kill 7 babies that were not in her body.
They want her to pay.
But women who get abortions are praised for killing their babies.
I’m concerned with how they are focusing only on this woman though. The whole hospital’s management should be investigated. Of course what she did is awful but the managers lack of action should be charged as well
Nobody's only focusing on Letby. The BBC has done an extensive report showing the systematic management failures that allowed Letby to continue her killing, and several other papers like Sky News are reporting on widespread calls to investigate the hospital.
You right, but sadly mismanagement is not a crime but incompetency the family can sue the hospital but no criminal charges can be brought on the management.
They should be sent to jail for the rest of their life. That's terrible crimes.
how did she manage to take the lives of those infants
@@draco2xx The information is available in articles, but I can summarise for you. Letby killed and attempted to kill babies by forced injections of insulin, milk, and air (including via the stomach), and assault (forcing tubes down the throat of babies).
It's heartbreaking. The doctors, who raised their voices are brave. It's give me hope in humanity.
Yeah wouldn't raise their voice after the 2nd kill then you're gonna start asking questions
Dr Ravi jayaram
How are they brave for speaking up? if you keep your mouth shut about this stuff you should also be treated as a criminal you don't deserve work life kids family nothing if you keep your mouth shut it's wrong I would kick scream and holla and blast the crap out of that hospital till somthing was done I'd go as fare as telling the families and everything even if I lost my job It would be worth it
stupid comment
Would have been braver to phone the police as soon as they suspected her
I hope the 'managers' who ignored this have been fired. They should also face prosecution.
Constant shivers throughout this video. Guilty of 7 deaths, 6 attempted. But that sheet of every suspicious circumstance that she was present at had 25 in a row meaning beyond the ones she’s been found guilty of there are another possible 12 murders or attempted murders. This is disgusting. She’s right she is pure evil.
This witch is going to burn in hell forever. I say good riddens!
& all that can be done is lock her up!
Inexcusable that the hospital management disregarded the staffs concerns. How many babies would be alive now if they hadn't protected the murderer
and you know what they will say ...? "Lessons will be learned" its a cop out !!
Hospitals help their criminal employees like doctors who overdose during a surgery. We are told not to talk about these things.
Inexcusable, yes. But is it surprising that management orchestrated a cover-up? How many times have we heard the same story about warnings being ignored and people being silenced when they raise serious concerns about crime?
@@TABLETMYCAT of course, the same as the police and every other institution from social services to family courts to schools etc etc
Police admit in this very video ALL the evidence is circumstantial - which it is
seems if you have to blame someone - blame her cos she wrote some stuff down & cos she was the only 1 on duty . News usually go into microscopic details - nothing not even a method ,weird
I would also want the senior managers at the hospital trust tried for negligence and malpractice by trying to cover up her heinous crimes!!
negligence yeah but it should be a civil lawsuit brought by the parents against the hospital. No prosecutor will file charges for them .
@martian891 and there in lies the problem! It has been mentioned in other comments; I cannot fathom the evilness of this woman, moreover it's truly disgusting that the willful and deliberate ignorance, criminality and sheer audacity of the management! They should be held criminally responsible for the part they played in the murder of innocent children. This type of malpractice is happening in every hospital, drs surgery and other institutions up and down the country. It's well known. And unfortunately whenever a law abiding citizen raises concerns they are labelled, blamed, shamed, threatened and punished! I pray that each and every one of those managers are prosecuted and made an example of. My heart literally breaks for all the innocents involved. So utterly and needlessly tragic for many, especially the victims and their families 😢
Absolutely. They should be struck off the nmc register too
Yes
If it had been up to the hospital management no one would have ever heard of this. What haunts me is the thought of how many other killer nurses are out there and allowed to go about their business because hospital management chooses their image over people's lives. That's really shocking to think about.
Rest in peace little ones🕯️🕊
My prayers are with the loved ones that left behind🙏🏼
Most jobs are about money and image, all so wrong.
Reading that gave me chills bc it’s so true
I believe There is a nurse killing vulnerable people in Darlington memorial Hospital ,I’ve brought this to the attention of the hospital but they don’t want to know ,I’ve brought it to Rishi sunak office and asked for an i investigation into the practice of this hospital by email ,all I get is have you spoken to the hospital,Yes I gave but they don’t care.I will keep going until those that are responsible are brought to justice,the hospital management should be jailed for what has happened to those defenceless baby’s ,absolutely shocking.
this is Darlington Memorial in Durham County? 😢 Darlington is funded by a trust which may be exactly why you are getting nowhere, Darlington is known for literally it's charity & hospitality, an amazing hospital but not exempt from "anything or anywhere is possible"
you have come upon admins or higher ups that want no trouble, which also means with a trust funded hospital it will be difficult to find someone to help but never impossible, this hospital had already made a stink back in 2021 about the exact opposite where they were complaining of being abused by patients,that is a monumental problem, you need to go outside of the institutions board, that is still quite fresh & that also matters because no doubt they would see your complaint POSSIBLY as vengeful, you are basically asking the hospital admins to investigate themselves which is what when push comes to shove will happen, my first advice to you is to be careful, since you have gone to higher ups now they know that you believe something is happening & that can be dangerous now a days, let us be real about that, i would not take this concern to anyone else inside the hospital, i do not know if you are a worker or were/are a patient or when you began suspecting this nurse, obviously you have boiled it down to 1 & that is crucial, & brilliant, also you would have an insight of the people that you suspect were killed/murdered, very important & quite haunting, & i am sorry this is on your conscience, you are how heros are made, you need somebody that has no interest in the hospital or yourself, the hospital because as we know doctors, nurses are known to police officers simply because of crimes commited on a daily basis & police spend alot of time walking the halls of hospitals because of their own cases but if they are true to their oaths you should be able to locate 1 that will at least sit down & hear you out, you don't want an officer familiar so much with you because then the hospital could say the police are choosing sides because you knew them beforehand, an arguement about something like that could get a case thrown out of court & you are back to square 1 with far less people willing to cooperate, prolongs investigations while in the mean time this nurse is also walking those halls, you already know the name of the nurse, the problem with that is as of right now that is all you have, you need a patient (always to never be named out loud because you do not know who you can trust & you definently do not want to alert this nurse that their name has been dropped in a matter as evil as this) could cause them to bolt, a time frame, so that an officer doesn't have spend time checking say like a years worth of records versus records for a few months that you suspect this happened in & why you suspect this nurse, take that to a police officer, you could even take it to a lawyer or barrister & they will take it to a police officer, keep in mind once a barrister takes up your cause they are yours to lead, you do not want to paint a target on your back by going to anyone else in the hospital, it isn't that they can't be trusted it is simple fear of repercussions, their reasons can seem unending & be for anything, if you take it to police & happen upon 1 that is not interested go to the next, try a different jurisdictional police officer, you could keep to yourself while still trying to find more evidence of your accusation because right now it is all it is, but it also risks another life which sometimes happens, i wouldn't talk about it to anyone even those close to you, unintentional slip ups happen & they could tell someone & that someone go to that hospital board, try taking what you have to a newspaper, perhaps a reporter will prove willing to take it seriously, post stories about on your social media accounts, annoy people by not shutting up about it, not information but basic rundowns because having 1 thing never released & it pop up later to convict happens all the time, police don't release certain info hoping if they question someone that tid bit of info will bring them closer to resolving this & getting this nurse first & foremost away from those patients, if you are willing to ask for trouble & headaches because you'll be put through hell until it is resolved, police, hospital staff, friends, bullies, the nurses friends & family, all of these people will want to talk or say something to you, & pretty is not promised
i am a lawyer in America, a Guardian ad Litem, (i represent children) & although i do not know England or UK law (my home country is Sweden) but (believe it or not my husband & i were in England when i went into labor with my triplets & Darlington was the only hospital that would help me have those girls & they were so lovely & caring to all of us so this was gut wrenching when i saw it) but i do know the same actions we take in America to catch & prosecute are virtually the same tactics pretty much, it is so serious of an accusation you are almost morally obligated to try as hard as you can but not to put yourself in any danger trying to get this exposed, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL, TRUE & SAFE during the whole thing, i can't emphasize to you enough how critical it is to expose this because it reaches beyond those hospital halls, these people that are being cared for & those that have already sadly died have family, wives or husbands, children, maybe they were alone in their lives & a dog or other pet is who they have had, they have the right to receive justice &/or have the right to go home to those friends & family, AS DO YOU!! please do not give up on them fight for them, they trusted this person for care & now ask you for help whether or not they know should even be asking for it❤❤❤
Her texts to colleagues included phrases like 'the father was literally crying on the floor' Lucy Letby is inhuman for taking away someone's child. The family that came to the hospital to give birth, leaving the hospital empty handed instead of their newborn. Truly evil of a human. God won't forgive her. Some woman give birth after lot of miscarriages and wait for a miracle and she killed those miracles.
There was a consultation room where the bereaved parents of the child SHE murdered, were being consoled and she forcibly burst into the room even though she was explicitly told not to . She revelled in the grief and suffering, like they said, basically to the point of sadism, she wanted to share in their torment that she herself inflicted upon them. She even said ' Do you want me to take a picture' to the parents, with the baby she just killed. It is literally inhuman levels of depravity in her mind.
If she TRULY repents and asks for forgiveness from God and truly means it; He will forgive her, but that does not mean setting her free
I hope hospital management get taken to court as well. Maybe some of those babies would be alive today if the doctors concerns were looked into and she was removed from duty and investigated earlier
Also the carers working along side her who commented "lucy must be on duty" when a baby was harmed. Anyone who turns a blind eye to abuse is culpable.
@@jake751Developing a jaded cynicism about the way management allows your hospital to run despite more senior staff than you reporting it is not the same as turning a blind eye.
Those in charge are culpable.
@@billkosses3808then name them. It’s not like they go to work anonymously.
@@billkosses3808 Plus they were made to apologise to Lucy. Utterly grim.
@@superstarDJ537 that must have been so humiliating
There should be consequences for the management for ignoring the consultants. Why aren't they too being prosecuted?
Money
Beyond the killer herself of course, the management of this hospital need to be held accountable for these abominable crimes. Excessive levels of insulin in the blood of a baby who didn't need it? That right there should've told them something nefarious was afoot.
Maybe they just didn't care
@@SamuelBlack84 More like they were more concerned with protecting their own reputation than with the welfare of their patients.
@@guydreamr Like I said
@@SamuelBlack84 Like you said what? "Just didn't care" has many meanings. It can also mean they were simply indifferent to everything, including their own reputations. That wasn't the case here.
@@guydreamr Indifference to extreme malpractice from an employee is the very definition of not giving a damn. There are no excuses. Either they care, or they don't. It's that simple
My daughter was in a neonatal unit for nearly a week after she was born. The nurses constantly tried to send me home every night telling me i couldn't be by the bed as it wasn't safe. Leaving her there didn't feel safe to me either. The doctors were brilliant.
We all need to be far more honest about health etc.
Neonatal units should have accomodation for parents & family to stay close to their infant
Should be cameras in the room over the babies
Mother is the best remedy! How can a newborn be left without mom when he fights for life? Even her smell, warmth tenderness proves to calm baby and sooth.
Gross they take moms away
🇺🇦🙏❤️
She needs to be given the whole life sentence. She clearly fits the criteria for this (The starting point for murder of two or more people and murder of a child with premeditation is whole life order). Her position as a NHS nurse is a position of trust so it's also an aggravated factor to this.
Dirty little rat… funny if it was a non while you would her head off but as she white she gets life sentence?? Mugs
Meanwhile in Rotherham they look the other way 🙄🙄🙄
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx What do you mean by "they look the other way?" Let alone the whole of Britain, the entire world has heard of the grooming gangs. The last time a piece of news soared to such global relevance, it was 9/11.

We should probably have better mental health screenings for healthcare professionals, because she was obviously a sociopath.
But surely a sociopath could pass herself off as normal? Her parents, former fellow students, and friends were all shocked to hear that she was suspected of murder.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995I know sociopaths are different to psychopaths, but in relation to the latter I've read somewhere where they are described as "wolves in sheep's clothing". It's very easy to encounter a psychopath in your life an be completely oblivious to that knowledge.
Some psycopaths are able to slip through the tests and put up a convincing disguise, fool people
For all you know, I could be evil
You may think that a sociopath would pass as normal, but once you become acquainted with them they're a dime a dozen in varying degrees of rebellion. You can definitely get a sociopath to fail when you ask them to be real, and you know the difference between healthy emotion and unhealthy or even fake emotion
No one likes the idea of video surveillance but the protection of the most vulnerable people need to be taken into consideration. We have seen too many stories of abuse and negligence in hospitals, nursing homes, daycare facilities, etc. There MUST be protections in place. To take that many lives to catch a killer in plain sight inside the hospital facility is UNACCEPTABLE. I’m sure the corporate administration may not like the idea of videos showing wrongdoing by staff as it’s not in their interest BUT it is their responsibility and they should be held accountable.
I'm a retired nurse in the states, using my husband's computer, just so y'all know. I have worked in hospitals and nursing homes where they totally look the other way. I would leave after speaking w/management. I cannot and could not abide seeing patients being mistreated or just lying in a bed with wet diapers for hours, etc.
I will never understand how anyone could do this to babies. Never had a chance to live before being snuffed out. Those poor beautiful little babies, my heart breaks for their parents 😢
It's just incomprehensible.
Those babies are in the loving arms of God, while that woman will be burning in hell.

Evil exists, Satan exists. This woman is a child of the devil.
You are a good nurse! 👍
The fact that it's shocking says volumes about real nurses. You are a nurse, she is not. She was a psycho in scrubs, you save and protect lives. Bless you and all nurses who look after us when we are most vulnerable, and for condemning the actions of this evil lady. You are not the same. Stay safe and stay strong.

Sincere heartfelt condolences to the families of these precious babies. This is horrifying.

How horrific for those precious babies and their family. Also, the staff members who were profoundly affected. RIP sweet angels 😇.
Yes! You can see from the text message exchanges how shocked and devastated staff were to be losing babies, especially since some of these babies had been recovering before they suddenly died or nearly died. Everyone but Letby was emotionally ruined. Letby, on the other hand, just kept volunteering to do more shifts.
Hospital management should be charged too they have failed the families that were rendered victims with an everlasting pain that will never go away ... my prayers go out to the families... we are living in a wicked world folks .. stay prayed up

Absolutely heartbreaking. My twin boys were born prematurely and you just automatically trust the special care nurse's on the unit as theyre with the babies so much especially whe the parents arent there at times. Our nurses were amazing luckily but the devastating thought that imagine if those nurses were like this evil Letby, its just sickening. Those poor babies and their parents 💔💔
After bringing the justice hammer down on Letby, the enablers that is the management needs to held accountable and punished accordingly.
If it was my baby and I found out the staff knew about it and didn't act, I'd tear through that hospital with a bullwhip.
you wouldn't do anything
Lefties are all talk no bite.. except when it comes to killling the unborn
Totally agree what took them so long, over 200 written records recovered at her house to cover her tracks. To little to late.
A bull whip 😂😂😂😂
😅
I hope she is looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life.
She'll end up in solitary, for her own protection.
@@Worldagenda24 how's prison in UK? Is it like the US where she'll likely ends up beaten to death
@JulieZena3846 Yeah, I couldn't be a lifer in prison and let her walk around me. I know that. Babies? Premature babies?! You kill babies and think you're going to walk around me?! You got another thing coming!
This is so sad for the nursing profession in general😞
Management was covering for a murderer. THAT's the story I want to hear, not the banal sociopath.
I think there should at the very least be an inquiry into hospital management and how they ignored multiple warnings from consultants. such obvious failings to act must surely be criminal negligence on their behalf especially considering the allegations that were being made. If care workers can get in trouble for accidentally overdosing their service users then why should those in charge get away with such a situation.
Only plebs can be negligent, didn't you know that? People above a certain pay grade or social standing are untouchable in this pathetic country.
I think it's gone past a inquiry now these things have happened so many times before and inquiries have been made people have been arrested it's been blasted across socail media etc if non of the above have made any difference whats going to change this time nothing!!
The only thing that has not been offered to people is having one family member to each vulnerable patient being allowed to stay with that person for their entity of their hospital stay all staff should have to work in pairs and cctv should be placed around in every room used for care and theater
@@apocalypsewaves Ok, calm down. You cannot use CCTV in a place of residence which a hospital bed is. There are many more effective ways to counter this type of behaviour. The first being is to listen to the concerns raised by staff instead of worrying about the fallout this type of incident has on the Trust as a whole and it's chief exec as an individual. Hold these people to account, then we'll make headway.
But the consultats also failed. They put their fear of loosing their jobs before their Oath and can easily call the police regardless
It's absolutely horrifying. An angel of death. A psychopath. 😱
The Devil
No mental illness here. She's just evil.
they like being called that, call them pigs instead
She is a Child Murderer
Yeah don’t give them a name it immortalises them. She deserve no recognition
If she can be so merciless to an infant, imagine what she could do an adult she doesn't like.
Why did it take them the loss of 7 babies to discover that babies weren't safe?The hospital should be held accountable too .
Hey how are you doing today?
If watching the nurse and the good nurse taught me anything, its that the higher ups would do anything to coverup/protect themselves from shit like this to avoid bad press and not get funding anymore. They're as bad as the convicted. 😤
absolutely
The BBC has written an excellent report on the systematic incompetence, complacency, and selfishness of hospital management that allowed Letby to murder and attack infants for over a year.
I've worked in these places and it's not just management it's also nurses and carers. They turn a blind eye to abuse for an easy life. There are amazing nurses and carers but sadly not all.
@@jake751Personally, I would raise hell regardless of the consequences. Plus, it would be intriguing to see how far they would go to shut me up
The administrators that forced the doctors who raised warnings to shut up, need to be arrested as well.
Management ignoring the warning of doctors is very bad.
Some people are just born psychopaths. No empathy at all. They are not made , that’s just the way it is. Some are just worse than others. Can’t be rehabilitated.
Be that as it may be, it doesn’t justify their crimes. 😓
Meanwhile in Rotherham they look the other way 🙄🙄🙄
@@kellyshomemadekitchenNobody said it justified anything.
Why was she doing it though? a power thing...power over life and death? just seems mentally ill rather than basic psychopathy. Plenty of psychopaths out there and even they aint killing babies .
@@dolltron6965she had post it notes where she wrote about how she loved playing God.
I want to know what the hospital’s interest was in protecting her. Afraid of losing nursing staff? What about doctors and what about patients’ safety?
The BBC'S report indicates that hospital management feared how a police investigation would look. Furthermore, a CEO said he had spent time with Letby and he father; her then put pressure on suspicious staff to apologise to Letby.
they were not protecting her. They were protecting the Hospital's reputation. But cover ups usually make matters worse
As someone else said, it boils down to money and bad PR. Which is now far worse ironically because they tried to cover it up.
I believe if Lucy was suspended straight away before police investigation she would have had a chance to take her employer to the Employment Tribunal through the (GN General Nursing Council. Best they have transfered her until her arrest by the police. Now she can't take her employer to tribunal. For this reason paediateicians were obliged to apologjsed to her and not crossing the Executive line of investigation.
I have to admit I am speechless I cant imagine what she was thinking .
If only hospital management had listened to those who had suspicions about her!
Hello how are you doing today?
Now to look into the hospital's attempted cover-up.
When I was doing nursing, I saw some very cold nurses, frightening! but you can't report these nurses as no one will believe you. They are usually charming, popular, nice so if U report them U become the evil one. I saw one slapped a new born and said I don't like these babies. I told a nurse. She exclaimed who, Martha? She wouldn't do that! That was over 50yrrs ago and it continues.
I can believe it?! 😠
Fascinating.
I've met many like this. It's in every single field of work. Catching and punishing them immediately sends a strong message to everyone.
Thats why there must be cameras on all wards
@@Ajhc73I imagine that must also help with reducing sexual abuse too.
This is so heartbreaking for the parents.... As for Lucy, she needs to be put away with a life sentence in prison without parole or the death penalty.
Those executives in the hospital who ignored all those warnings are complicit. All of those women in prison who would love to be with their babies, will sort this monster out.
If this happened in the US, she’d be sentenced, at minimum, to life in prison without parole, if not the death penalty. Then, the hospital would be sued out of existence. I don’t support the death penalty, but I do believe she should spend the rest of her life behind bars.
The hospital is fine it's just the management who should be sued and criminally charged.
@@nathanlewis42 that’s actually how it works. The hospital itself is relatively safe, but individual members of the hospital board, who are named in the suit, usually wind up having the hospital cover their costs/penalties.
Killing someone intentionally is murder whatever way it's looked at
Oh u can bet there would be multiple arrests coming in if this were happening in the u.s
@@jamesirvine9541the death penalty isn't murder, it's deserved punishment. Intentionally killing an innocent person IS murder.
A documentary about this evil psychopath is on tonight (18th August) at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
they need to bring the management responsible for ignoring the pleas against her to court too. they are just as responsible for allowing these deaths as lucy letby is for killing them. if management listened this could have minimised further risk to the babies lives. unforgivable. the hospital trust needs to be prosecuted.
When they showed that sheet of paper with all the X’s - where she was present for every “incident”, should have been a major red flag and sealed her fate. Done. Guilty.
Wow what's wrong with people
Never underestimate the power of evil
@@richard7645Who are you alleging is evil!? I suspect Lucy is being used as a scapegoat for others negligences & hospital failings, don't you!? Ian Harvey, former employee, left for france quickly & living it up! Probably on taxpayers money!? Why was he allowed to leave the country & not be questioned for his parts in possible negligences!?
Would make sense to have psychological tests for doctors and nurses, they do have our lives in their hands after all!
i understand the nurse's parents were in tears at the court house.......it's human nature to protect your kids. but that so many babies died under her care can't be a coincidence. ....If I was this nurse and one of two babies died under my care I would request to move to another part of the hospital to prove I had nothing to do with it......Did she really think all these babies dying under her care wouldn't have raised questions?
Hey how are you doing today?
It's a strange world where a baby inside the womb can be slaughtered at will whereas when it is killed outside the womb, such a crime is greeted with the horror it rightly deserves.
Hello how are you doing today?😊
I m a nursing student from India 🇮🇳 nd absolutely disgusted by this shameless nurse🥺As nurses our patients are everything to us,we aim to provide for a holistic care with love nd empathy❤She needs to be thrown behind the bars😢Sick lady🤢
The good news is that most nurses do not do this. Letby is one horrific abnormality.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995I know people are also quick to bash the police, but they too much like nurses, are generally decent as well. There are going to be a few odd bad ones everywhere in every profession.
My two physicians are from India, the kindest people I have ever met in my life ❤❤❤❤
FFS nurses like Letby can be found in any country or society.
Good!Lock her up.Whole life tariff required.
Sentencing should be harsher for evil people. Death sentence perhaps, the UK prison system is like a holiday camp.
American here; I don't understand how "upper management" have the power to push consultants and doctors to stop voicing their suspicions about LL and threatening repercussions if they do not stop?
This seem to be a upside down hierarchy. Doctors have the ultimate say in hospitals here.
Why do administrators have that level of power? The doctors are ultimately in charge of lives.
Can someone explain this?
Chills me to bone, this. How devastating for the parents, and the genuine hardworking staff at the unit. The senior management should take a long hard look in the mirror. Ignoring red flags and intimidating staff who raised concerns.
This inquiry should be independent, thorough and be the engine for change. Apologies and buck passing is no use to anyone. Another example of the shady culture that has been allowed to thrive in workplaces, and the majority of dedicated, conciencious staff, who really care are , are treated like criminals.
Could not agree with your comment more! It's disgusting what these managers get away with. You're spot on about genuinely hardworking people that truly care. They are ostracised for doing the right thing, whilst the monsters in charge get drunk on their own importance and pure criminality. It's happening in every institution up and down the country and has been for year's. Its chilling and terrifying…
@@rachelburns5985 It is the abuse of trust that really gets to me, by Letby herself and the senior management towards their staff. It erodes the efforts of hard working, alert, compassionate people working in the NHS and unfortunately, gives ammunition to those who would like to see it go down.
I come from a town where Dr Shipman murdered many people, who trusted and respected him. He had his own practice, which explains a lot. Red flags were there and some people were suspicious. But Letby was part of a team of workers. Obviously, something needs to change.
There shouldn't be an inquiry. There should be an investigation into the management team. Any act or omission that leads to abuse, or in this case, far worse, is unlawful. Safeguarding rules apply to absolutely everyone, from the bottom to the top. They should be charged with wilful negligence at least. But it won't happen.
@@simoncardie9371 Agree, I have called out people at work. Abusing staff, and nasty pieces of work. It just falls on deaf ears. Unfortunately people try, but you will be the one that ends up leaving and ostracised.
This is unimaginable 😭😭
But why did the hospital mgt ignore the reports.
To protect their reputation and because they liked Letby.
2 out of 3 healthy triplets born died suddenly....the lost to this family is profound. Hospital was 100% criminally negligent because they didnt investigate the claims of her collegues and the rise in mortality rates....
my heart goes out to all the families may peace love and light find it’s way to you
BBC One are showing a documentary about this case tonight at 8pm.
How sick she is … can only imagine what the parents must feel god bless them all
@@Steves_fish Fact they sat there supporting her says a lot maybe they don’t believe it but sadly i think many more cases are going to come to light they should have caught her earlier there should be cameras on every ward watching
@@Steves_fishWow, you must have read my mind!
I had a high school, history teacher, that was an ex police officer of 11 years.
He told us that police officers choose that profession because they have a "chip on their shoulder", as majority of them come from dysfunctional families (drugs, alcohol, DV, SA, neglect, etc..) and they want to make things right (revenge).
Automatically, I thought, she chose nursing because of a specific family issue or trauma.
That hospital and whoever decided not to investigate NEEDS to be charged!
When my son was born, he had seizures. So he spent 4 days at the hospital. I was there as much as possible and pumped milk for him. I found out some of the nurses were giving him formula instead. He started to develop jaundice. One of the nurses was harsh with him in front ofe. Then the doctor came up to me and said that even though they haven't gotten all the test results back yet, he suggested that I take my son home. He said my son will do better and get rid of his jaundice once he is off the formula and at home. The look on his face was stern like i better take his advice and take my son home now.
The entire trial & evidence of murder on innocent babies is too distressing. I truly feel the greatest sorrow for the families who lost their babies to this monster. These families will never get over this. The question that still bugs me is why did Lucy Letby even choose to train as a nurse & even work as a nurse. I also wonder if Lucy worked elsewhere before Chester Hospital where other babies died mysteriously on her watch. Her entire work record now needs to be investigated.
she chose to train as a nurse so she would have opportunities to kill.
It’s evil what she did, I hope they could also arrest people responsible for aborning millions of innocent babies each year
@@Blablablue😂😂
@@Blablablue It's legal for women to choose to kill their own babies (before birth), just not someone else's.
The same reason p3dos start daycares if become teachers. Its sickening.
Imagine giving birth at an NHS hospital, you'll need your own 24/7 security team
So you want to act like this is an everyday institutionional problem an not an isolated event ?
Nice fear mongering mate ......
There should be CCTV cameras at entrance of the baby ward. In other countries that's normal, usually to protect babies from abduction or any criminal offences.
@@jedaaa Its quite common to see malpractice from doctors, nurses and midwifes.
@@TomNook. As is the case in any profession a human is involved in. But malpractice is a hundred miles away from active serial killers
@@jedaaa The NHS has served as the hunting ground for several notorious serial killers and abusers, Letby is just the latest in a long list.
This is horrific. Why would she kill those innocent babies?! 😡🤬 I feel so bad for the families, this psycho needs to be out away for life.
Yet another instance of managers being totally useles in fact they should be charged of criminal neglect. I'm fed up with incompetance of these people all they do cost the NHS millions.
Reminds me of The Nurse series on Netflix, which was also based on a true story. Sad that so many lives are taken before such psychos are caught.
Nurse Ratchet?
was also that reverse situation, they thought this nurse killed patients, they found some kind of bacteria or virus, that was causing the deaths and not her.
I wonder what her parents are thinking, I wonder what they are going through. When they look at the parents and hear the accounts of what happened I wonder if they look at their daughter and wonder what went wrong.
She not only killed those babies and destroyed the parents lives but she sent her own parents to purgatory.
Exactly.. very important that they mentioned that she had a happy childhood meaning they gave her the best they could give to any child. List5ne traumatizing
@ems4884 Peter kurten is known as the vampire of dusseldorf. When you look at his childhood, it's no surprise he was so effed up in the head. It doesn't excuse what he did, but it didn't help
@@RobespierreThePoof Psychopaths are born without the ability to feel empathy, as well as no ability to feel remorse or fear. They also usually feel emotions in general a lot less or weaker than most humans. Sociopaths are the ones who were once normal (neurotypical), but became sociopathic/narcissistic and lost the ability to feel empathy or remorse because of environment and/or trauma, and this can happen at any time, but usually in childhood. Sociopaths can be neurotic though, unlike psychopaths, so sociopaths can feel fear and anxiety. They can also be rehabilitated (although I don't think this is common since sociopaths usually don't see or admit to their faults and seem to lack the ability to self-reflect and see themselves, their behaviors and their flaws clearly), while psychopaths can't be rehabilitated because their brains are just different, they are born the way they are. But psychopaths are not necessarily evil, and don't necessarily have evil thoughts, they just don't feel empathy for others or remorse when they have done something wrong. They know the difference between right and wrong. Some of them choose to live within the rules of society and don't feel the need to do bad things, because they've realized that when they do they get more drama and lose friends etc. But the ones who seek the thrill of doing bad things and who have evil thoughts and act on it, are the ones who are really dangerous.
How would she feel if someone hurt her whilst she was having her knee surgery as she mentions. The most vulnerable place to be is under the care of other people. They need to make sure do more checks on the people that have care roles. It's awful
This is so unreal. Too disheartening. Heart is with the parents and babies❤
Hello how are you doing today?
We need to stop acting like all NHS workers are absolute saints. It's a job, they're doing it to get paid, no different than the rest of us. I was an essential worker myself during lockdown and I found all the congratulatory bullshit ridiculous
Yes same. I wish people stop glorifying the NHS as an infallible institution.
Nice straw-man argument you have there. Well done.
@@inbb510I don't think anyone was calling the NHS or its staff infallible. It's just that they were under increased pressure during the pandemic.
we need to stop the idolising of specific people in general....but it suits the agenda of the corrupt establishment to conquer and divide with hate and vitriol...... we have so many factions of cultists of trump, Biden, bojo the clown etc etc.... crazy
@@inbb510 Who calls it infallible? People have been saying the complete opposite for years. Decades even.
Psychopaths are among us. The vast majority of them live normal productive lives and do not commit crimes. Unfortunately, Lucy was one of those who had violent impulses. What a tragedy for all those babies and their families.
I have known 2 psychopaths. They always throw really great parties because they want everyone to like them so much!
Eddie did tell me that he had killed animals as as young boy but he cut that shit out when he realised it was actually quite fucked up.
@@vice.nor.virtueYou should have torn out his guts
@@SamuelBlack84 now Look whose the psychopath
@@vice.nor.virtue It's justifiable
@@SamuelBlack84 erm. Are you aware of your cognitive dissonance. It sounds like your moralising that we as people shouldn’t kill for sport for the twisted psychological reasons. Yet is perfectly okay to _tear the guts out_ [are you joking me??] to a person whose a fully grown man, understands their mistakes, and has lived a normal violence free life for like 30 years.
Like that is so bizarre I could make the case you yourself are on the spectrum.
Hold the hospital accountable no matter what
Hospital management should be investigated a big time
how brutally sad. my whole families love to all the children parents & family affected. you are in our prayers.
That'll help, thanks. Virtue signalling always makes things better.
@@whatsthatnow308there's nothing wrong in wishing heartfelt sentiments to grieving families.
@@skycloud4802 If you think grieving families are searching here for comfort then please seek help.
@@whatsthatnow308 they won't be here looking for comfort, but they may stumble upon these comments one day, or other family members close to them.
@@skycloud4802 Yeah that's what happens in the grieving process, you come back and relive the horror by watching it again. Are you for real? Everyone is shocked, everyone feels for the families but sharing such sentiments on here of all places is more about you than anyone else.
Truly bizarre what goes through some people's minds
Why the senior management is not getting sued and punished as well????
I just can’t fathom how someone could do this to those poor innocent babies 😢💔
🟥🚫🟥 Psychopath - never let this woman out of jail. A twisted heart, mind , and soul. 🟥🚫🟥
What a horrible monster. My condolonces to all the families :(
How heartbreaking 💔
My heart goes out to the parents
This is why auditing and reflecting on the events are important in health care system regardless of what part of the world. We never know how many cases have occurred and gone unnoticed in developing countries.
It’s only right to sentence MONSTERS like her to prison for the rest of her life!!!!! That way this can NEVER happen to another innocent baby, or their family, EVER AGAIN!!!!! 😡😡👎👎
Such an evil woman. Poor defenceless babies, absolutely heartbreaking for their parents. Can't understand why the hospital executives didn't contact the police sooner, especially when approached with such a serious allegation. They provided Lucy Letby with the opportunity to kill more babies
Hello how are you doing today?
LETBY should be handcuffed and forced to attend court to hear the statements read by her victims families. This is the worst case I have ever seen .
This is why capital punishment should be legal
My this is horrendous !! Im stunned .RIP little angels 😢
Hello how are you doing today?😊
What the....? How do kill a baby? A defenceless baby. I can't even fathom how anyone does this.
Death sentence please
This is obviously good but there's no way she should be the only one to blame for this. All those who ignored the multiple and repeated warnings by concerned staff and parents should be fully investigated too.
@@Steves_fish anyone who could have noticed, could have spoken up, could have done anytning, but didn't... you're right mate. They're all blameless.
Totally agree as people would comment on the ward "lucy must be on duty" when a baby came to harm. Nothing worse than a coward who turns a blind eye. 😔
@@Steves_fish no she isn't. Other people chose to say nothing to the authorities.
She is 100% blameworthy of murder, administrators to blame for lethal maladministration and should be put on trial for their wrongdoing - leave it to the police and the prosecutor to put names to their crimes.
