The verdict, following a 10-month trial at Manchester Crown Court, makes Lucy Letby one of Britain's most prolific serial child killers.

KEY POINTS

  • 33-year-old Lucy Letby was convicted on Friday of killing seven babies in the neonatal unit of a hospital in England.

  • A handwritten note found by police officers who searched her home after the arrest read “I killed them on purpose”.

  • Letby will be sentenced on Monday and faces a very long prison term, and possibly a rare full life sentence.

    Dude what?

    There’s a note in her handwriting admitting she did it.

    All the babies that died, died whilst she was on shift at a infinitely higher rate than what was normal

    The text messages on her phone link to the dates of when the babies were killed.

    People can often be locked up or sentenced under some pretty circumstantial evidence, but that is not the case here.
