He then explained that she preyed on newborns when she found herself alone with them, after the parents had left, or during the night. When the medical teams pulled out all the stops to try to save the children, Lucy Letby was very involved. The investigators had quickly spotted disturbing elements at the home of the accused. She had written letters that may suggest confessions. “I don’t deserve to live. I purposely killed them because I’m not good enough to take care of them. I’m a horrible bad person”, “I am the devil. I did this!”, she had written. Despite everything, throughout the duration of the trial, she continued to deny the facts of which she was accused.
