"I am evil": UK nurse Lucy Letby found guilty of murdering 7 newborn babies

The senior prosecutor at the trial of a British neonatal nurse, found guilty of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six others, said on Friday that her colleagues were unaware there was "a murderer in their midst."

Lucy Letby, 33, was charged with murder in the deaths of five baby boys and two girls, and the attempted murder of five boys and five girls, when she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwest England between 2015 and 2016.

She was accused of deliberately harming newborn infants in various ways, including by injecting air into their bloodstreams and administering air or milk into their stomachs via nasogastric tubes.

Prosecutors said a Post-It note found at Letby’s home after she was arrested in 2018 on which she wrote “I am evil, I did this."
