TL;DR Summary

Nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced to life imprisonment with no prospect of release for killing seven newborn babies at a hospital in northern England. Letby injected the infants with insulin or air, or force fed them milk. The judge described her actions as a "cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of child murder" and noted a deep malevolence bordering on sadism. Letby refused to hear her sentence being handed down, leading to demands for compulsory attendance by criminals. The government has ordered an inquiry into the case and police are investigating other admissions to neonatal units where Letby worked.
