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.

    I curate the communities I follow to only be nice, hobby-related things, so when I’ve had enough of the all feed, there’s plenty to see without the horror stories.

      That’s true it’s probably just the all feed I’ll just hop … Nope apparently my home feed is depressing AF

      Same, I also block communities that consistently show up on my all-feed with negative content. I’d rather miss an interesting post than see negative stuff regularly. There’s enough stuff to be depressed about, and those 5 minute pocket-lemmy breaks add up. If all those moments were to be consistently negative, I’m sure it’d do a number on my mental health in the long run.
