She is only the fourth woman to receive the maximum sentence in England. Former nurse Lucy Letby risks the rest of her life behind bars for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others. A judge sentenced the 33-year-old nurse to the maximum sentence in Manchester on Monday.
“They acted in a way that completely went against normal human instincts to feed and care for babies,” he said. It was a “gross breach of trust”. She is only the fourth Briton to serve the maximum sentence. Two more of those convicted so far are still in custody, the third died there.
Worst string of infanticides in recent British history
A jury charged the woman with multiple murders and attempted murder on Friday. In two cases the ex-nurse was acquitted, in two other cases the jury could not agree. Letby always maintained her innocence and refused to participate in the sentencing hearing. This is the deadliest string of infanticides in recent British history.
