British nurse Lucy Letby, 33 found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempted murder of six others in a hospital in Chester, northwest England, between 2015 and 2016, the Manchester Crown Court said.

During the trial, the evidence presented by the prosecutor’s office testified that Letby killed the children, five boys and two girls, by injecting them with air with an intravenous syringe. while working at the Countess of Chester Medical Center.

The woman, who had already been suspected of crimes since 2018 when she was first arrested, was arrested again in 2020 and charged by the police after receiving clearance from the Crown Prosecution Service, which filed 22 charges against her.

The case shocked the United Kingdom, especially since suspicions of newborn deaths began to be directed in 2018 to a nurse who she became the most prolific child killer in the history of this country.

The aforementioned court also convicted her of the attempted murder of six more infants by methods including: in addition to air injection, insulin poisoning, or ingestion of excessive food. The verdict will be announced on August 21.

Instead, the jury, deliberating for more than 110 hours, found Letby, who was not present in court, not guilty of two charges of attempted murder, while they did not reach a consensus on the verdict for another six assassination attempts.

The charges on which she was convicted relate to the period from June 2015 to June 2016, when several unexplained neonatal deaths occurred at the Countess of Chester’s Hospital.

Letby worked as an intern at a community center for three years before graduating from a local university to become a pediatric nurse.

Since then, the woman worked in a neonatal unit specializing in infants who require different levels of care.
