"Nurse Lucy Letby's Shocking Crimes Shake the Medical Community"

Nurse Lucy Letby, the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times, is set to be sentenced after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Letby, who injected babies with air, force fed them milk, and poisoned two infants with insulin, refused to appear in court for the hearing. The trial, which lasted over 10 months, is believed to be the longest murder trial in the UK. The government has ordered an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the baby murders.

"Nurse Lucy Letby Convicted of Serial Baby Murders in UK Hospital"

Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others on a neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in the UK. Letby deliberately injected babies with air, force fed others milk, and poisoned two infants with insulin. The 33-year-old was convicted following a two-year investigation into the rise in deaths and near-fatal collapses of premature babies at the hospital. Letby's defense argued that the deaths were the result of failures in care, but the prosecution described her as a "calculating and devious" opportunist.
