As i was saying, this has been a long and difficult trial for all of those involved. 0ur Correspondent has followed this case from the start and have sent this report. 0ur north of england correspondent Judith Moritz followed the case from the start and sent this report. She thought shed get away with it, but this was the moment the game was up. Lucy, is it . Do you mind if i step in for two seconds . Yes. Thank you. Behind the door of this ordinary suburban house, britains most prolific baby killer was arrested three hours after her murder spree began. Just sit there for me, lucy. Move that forward a bit. Ive just had knee surgery. 0h, right, 0k. She worked here, in the Neonatal Unit at the countess of Chester Hospital. Her role to care of the most vulnerable infants, but that couldnt have been further from her mind. The crying, ive never heard anything like it since. It was screaming. It was screaming, and i was like, whats the matter with them . Legally, we cant identify the families in this case, but the stories are distressing. These are the parents of twin boys born prematurely in 2015. Their mum was taking milk to them when she heard one of her sons crying loudly. He had blood round his mouth. And lucy was there, but faffing about and not really doing anything. Lucy said, dont worry, the registrar was coming. And then she told me to go back to the ward. The babys mum left him in this Intensive Care area and went to call her husband. They thought their son was in safe hands with nurse letby, but a short time later, they were told he was dangerously ill and they rushed back to find doctors trying to save him. We were taken in, and we were told to talk to him and hold his hand. And then. We had a conversation with the consultant, and they said they were going to stop, because its not helping, and we want him to die in your arms. 0n the unit, there were typically up to three deaths a year, but in 2015, they had that number in the month ofjune alone. And the pattern continued, with babies dying or coming close to death. The common factor lucy letby. This Staffing Sheet shows she was the only employee who was present every time there was a suspicious event. Dr Stephen Brearey led the team of seven consultants on the unit who shared joint concerns about letby. Hes now speaking publicly about their experience for the first time. Its something that nobody really wants to consider, you know, that a member of staff might be harming the babies under your care. Things came to a head when two out of three healthy triplets died within 2a hours of each other injune 2016. Afterwards, a meeting was held for staff. Lucy letby was there. She was sitting next to me. I spoke to her and said how tired and upset she must be after two days of this, and i hoped that she was going to have a restful weekend. And she turned to me and said, no, im back on shift tomorrow. The other staff were very traumatised by all of this. They were crumbling before your eyes almost, and she was quite happy and confident to come into work. Lucy letby was eventually moved to a clerical role. The doctors kept trying to get managers to investigate the suspicious deaths and her connection to them. But we can now reveal that even though consultants here repeatedly made loud warnings to senior management, they say they were ignored and ultimately told that if they didnt stop raising questions about the nurse, there would be consequences. And the doctors say that even after lucy letby came off duty on the Neonatal Unit, executives tried to draw a line under the case, and it was only a year after she stopped working as a nurse that the Police Became involved. After her arrest, officers found all sorts of items in her bedroom. Babies� medical records, her diary and notes covered in letby� s scrawl, with phrases including, i am evil. I did this. She is a killer, and using her words, she is evil. Youve spent time interviewing her, and watching her in court as well, giving evidence. What did you make of her . I think she is very emotionless. She doesnt respond to a typical Human Response that i wouldve expected. There was no empathy or sympathy with whats gone on at all. I mean, there are people who look at her and say theres no way she can have done this. Its circumstantial evidence. She looks as though butter wouldnt melt. Its an example to us all of not judging a book by its cover. I weve got to accept and understand the evidence in this case has been, i believe, significant, | and it has taken us to understand that lucy letby is a killer. The nurse wrote this Sympathy Card to the parents of one baby and searched for many of the other families on facebook. Letby� s own parents supported her throughout the trial, and the court heard about her happy childhood. We may never know why she became a killer. I want her to be locked up, and i neverwant her to come out again. Because what shes done has changed the course of our life forever. Lucy letby had many faces. Party girl, graduate, bright young nurse. But each face was a mask for evil hiding in plain sight, and at last her cover has slipped. Lucy letby will now be known as one of britains most notorious criminals. Judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. Convicted of seven murders and also convicted of the Attempted Murder of six other babies. We have heard of course a lot of reaction to those convictions. We have heard from the hospital where this happened, the countess of Chester Hospital, where lucy letby worked on the Neonatal Unit. And here and Manchester Crown court, at the conclusion of the trial, we also heard from some of the people who were responsible for the people who were responsible for the investigation and prosecution case as well. A short while ago, detective chief inspector nicola evans of Cheshire Police gave her reaction to the verdict. This has been a long and emotional journey for all of the families involved in this case. I speak on behalf of the entire Prosecution Team when i say that all of their babies will forever be in our hearts. I would like to thank all of the families in this case for their exceptional resilience and strength throughout this entire investigation. Their composure and their dignity during this trial has been truly overwhelming. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this case started in may 2017. Since that time, hundreds of witnesses have been spoken to by a team of dedicated detectives. Many of those witnesses have returned to court on numerous occasions to give evidence. Without their honesty and their support, the families would not have received the justice that they have received today. I cannot begin to imagine how the families in this case feel today. I just hope that todays verdicts bring all of them some Peace Of Mind for the future and that we have answered some of the questions that they were looking for. Cheshire constabulary will continue to support all of the families in this case in the coming days and weeks ahead. There will be a period of reflection as everybody comes to terms with what theyve experienced here today. Thats detective chief inspector nicola evans, who was one of the senior investigating officers in this case from Cheshire Police. We also heard on the steps here in manchester at the reaction from some of the families who lost children in some of the Attempted Murders as well. Important to say some of those children suffered life changing consequences from the attempts lucy letby made on their lives. Now all of the victims in this case have been kept anonymous, not inside the court, but in terms of reporting, they have been referred to as bay ba, bbc, and theirfamilies have also been given Identity Protection so their parents and also that chilled siblings of the student could try and have some level of privacy for what has been a huge amount of scrutiny and a very high profile trial. So the reaction that we heard was from their family liaison officer. Janet moore, the family liaison officer, has been speaking on behalf of the babies families outside court. Ive been asked to read out a statement on behalf of all the families in this case. Words cannot effectively explain how we are feeling at this moment in time. We are quite simply stunned. To lose a baby is a heartbreaking experience that no parent should ever have to go through. But to lose a baby or to have a baby harmed in these particular circumstances is unimaginable. Over the past seven to eight years, weve had to go through a long, tortuous and emotional journey. From losing our precious newborns and grieving their loss, seeing our children who survived, some of whom are still suffering today, to being told years later that their death or collapse might be suspicious, nothing can prepare you for that news. Today, justice has been served, and a nurse who shouldve been caring for our babies has been found guilty of harming them. But this justice will not take away from the extreme hurt, anger and distress that weve all had to experience. Some families did not receive the verdict that they expected, and therefore it is a bittersweet result we are heartbroken, devastated, angry and feel numb. We may never truly know why this happened. Words cannot express our gratitude to the jury whove had to sit through 145 days of gruelling evidence which has led to todays verdict. We recognise that this has not been an easy task for them, and we will forever be grateful for their patience and resilience throughout this incredibly difficult process. The Police Investigation began in 2017, and weve been supported from the very beginning by a team of experienced and dedicated family liaison officers. We want to thank these officers for everything that theyve done for us. Medical experts, consultants, doctors and nursing staff have all given evidence at court, which at times has been extremely harrowing and distressing for us to listen to. However, we recognise the determination and commitment that each witness has shown in ensuring that the truth was told. We acknowledge that the evidence given by each of them has been key in securing todays verdict. That was janet moore who is works with all of these families in this case. Lets reflect on that with my colleague dan 0donoghue, and you been here for every day of the trial and we heard janet moore took about the evidence and for the families in particular, same for everybody it was distressing evidence to listen to. But for these families, it is the infinite intimate details in some cases of the last minutes of their childs lies theyve had to relive again in the most awful circumstances. figs relive again in the most awful circumstances.
