The Disturbing Baby Murders of Serial Killer Nurse Lucy Letby

In a deeply disturbing case, an unusual cluster of infant deaths and catastrophic injuries in the neonatal unit at a hospital in Chester, England raised red flags. Investigators shockingly discovered one common denominator - registered nurse Lucy Letby was on duty every single time one of these tragic incidents occurred with newborn babies.

The 33-year-old Letby stood trial accused of being a prolific serial killer preying on the most vulnerable infants in her care. The evidence revealed a pattern of her injecting babies with air or insulin, or violently shaking them until they stopped breathing. Ultimately, Letby was found guilty of murdering 7 babies and attempting to kill 6 more, making her one of the deadliest serial child killers in modern history. In this chilling episode, the Law&Crime Network's Angenette Levy is joined by lawyer Richard Scorer to examine how a trusted medical professional was able to repeatedly take innocent lives with such detached depravity. They break down the critical warnings that were missed and Letby's potential motives for her sickening killing spree in the neonatal ward.

stalking the families on Facebook afterwards is just sick

[Trogdor]

It is unimaginable that the hospital let this go on for so long. The administrators who didn't investigate when the doctor said there was something wrong should also be charged.

[webiplus]

She is evil in human form. Killing babies then stalking the families to watch them grieve.

[Rainsnowreadysetblow]

Hospitals caring more about their reputation than accepting responsibility and putting the safety of patients at the forefront? I'm so unbelievably bloody shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

[SeattleRaindrop]

She should’ve been forced to attend the reading of the victim impact statements and her sentencing. Unbelievable that they allow that in the UK.

[karlamena]

From someone who lost a child from childbirth complications . I can't imagine the pain the parents are feeling it's a different type of pain. The what-ifs are always going to be there .😢 ❤

[Chickchoice]

Not bordering on Sadism…..absolutely 100% sadistic killing. I’m a nurse and I am absolutely sick to my core hearing about this case. She set out to not just kill these babies….some of the ways she chose to kill them were torturous.

[stephenmark]

The judge said this was "bordering on sadism." Talk about the understatement of the year.

[weenfain]

My mom use to tell me monsters weren’t real as a child. My dad would come behind her and say monsters absolutely are real but they aren’t hiding under your bed or in your closet, they aren’t Dracula or swamp thing. They’re walking among us every single day and look just like you and I. Harsh for a child to hear but 100% the truth.

[snowwhite]

Thankfully I'm seeing this video now and not two months ago before my son was born. Childbirth is stressful enough without worrying that the nursing staff is going to murder your baby. I hope that monster spends the rest of her life in prison. My thoughts are with the families of her victims I hope that one day they are able to find, healing, peace, and happiness.

[nessbolton]

This story has rocked the entire UK, how she got away with this for nearly a year and she hasn’t even been prosecuted for every baby she hurt, is beyond me. Every senior manager that ignored the concerns of consultants when they tried to blow the whistle needs to also be prosecuted for corporate manslaughter.

There is bound to be families that will never know if she had a hand in treating their babies but the police are now going to look j to her employment history at her former hospital and rumour suggests there may be hundreds of babies that may not have died but may well have been harmed.

We don’t have capital punishment in the UK but for this monster I wish we did, mind you her stay in prison isn’t exactly going to be peachy, people who hurt children never goes down well with fellow inmates and the prison she’s been sent to has some pretty horrid prisoners detained there.

[jaffacakes]

This is the exact same hospital that my family sued and won 2 million. My auntie went into labour over 30 years ago. There was complications and someone walked in off the street and delivered her son. He was starved of oxygen and has cerebral palsy. It’s hard to believe but that’s exactly what happened. A random person walked in off the street pretending to be a doctor and delivered her baby. Then disappeared. He’s never been found.

[mrparlanejxtra]

The hospital management need to be charged and face a trial.

[professorbernardkemp]

Hospital Managers were protecting their own reputation and were unconcerned with the safety of babies and children. Disgusting.

[user]

This is the darkest case I’ve seen on this channel by far. It’s appalling beyond words.

[BookishDark]

My. God. As a human being, but also as a mother and a former nanny to infants and preschool teacher to toddlers, I cannot fathom this kind of evil. I cannot fathom being this void of humanity. How do you do this? I’m tortured with guilt when I accidentally kill a bug - how do you harm helpless babies??

[sidekickster]

Praying for all of the families involved 🙏.
This lawyer is AWESOME! Such concern for not only his clients, but for ALL aspects even to speak up saying the system needs to be changed! Seems like he's full of both compassion & wisdom.

[Whatnok]

Poor sweet little angels. What a horrible despicable woman!

[FCESWS]

The management is also complicit. They let this go on for way too long.

[hellsbells]

When I saw "Nurse Kills Babies" on the news the other day, I assumed it was the Beverly Allit case.
Allit killed babies and she tried to kill more. This happened in 1991 in a local hospital.
I was horrified to see it had happened again.
This one will spend the rest of her life among women who tend to dislike child killers and are not afraid to show how much.
