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.

    Parents literally walked in on her mid-murder, but yeah maybe she was just pretending to kill it? For a joke?

      I can’t even imagine what I would do to a nurse that was hurting my baby… I just had a baby and I was ready to knock out the lactation consultant for pushing my baby’s head into my wife’s boob a little hard.
