Killer nurse Lucy Letby 'could not wait' to tell others about baby's death, colleague says

Lucy Letby 'could not wait' to rush over and tell a nurse arriving for her shift that another baby had died, a former colleague has said.

Abby Lever, worked on the Countess of Chester's neonatal unit, alongside Letby, who has since been sentenced to a whole life order after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others between 2015 and 2016.

The killer nurse was quick to grab another colleague as she began her shift to inform her a triplet who had been under their care had died earlier in the day.

Baby O, who was considered to be in a good condition, was murdered by Letby on 23 June 2016 as she returned from a holiday in Ibiza.

Abby says as she walked onto the ward Letby spotted them both, rushing over to deliver the news, believing "she couldn't wait to tell the nurse".
