The Conviction of Lucy Letby
Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse, was convicted of killing and harming 13 babies in her care at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016, earning the title of one of the UK's most prolific serial killers in this context. Her actions raised significant concerns regarding hospital protocols and the ability of medical staff to identify and prevent such atrocities from occurring. The investigation has exposed a disturbing pattern, where multiple deaths and suspicious incidents occurred under her care without adequate scrutiny or investigation from hospital management. The inquiry into these events aims to uncover the truth regarding who knew what and when, as well as how these crimes went unnoticed for so long within a medical facility that was supposed to ensure the safety of vulnerable infants.
