A 33-year-old English nurse was found guilty on Friday, after weeks of deliberation, of the murders of seven newborn babies and the attempted murders of six others, a case that horrified Britons. Tried for nine months during a grueling trial, Lucy Letby was found guilty by the jury of a Manchester court (north) of the murders committed between 2015 and 2016.

His sentence will be handed down at a later date. The nurse, 25 years old at the time of the events, said she was innocent. She was accused of having injected air intravenously into newborns, of having used their nasogastric tubes to send air or an overdose of milk into their stomachs. She was also accused of adding insulin to pouches of food solution. Sometimes she combined several attacks.
She was the only member of the medical staff still on duty during the brutal deterioration of the newborn babies, Judge James Goss had pointed out, before the 12 jurors began to deliberate on July 10. The trial started on October 10, 2022 in Manchester. The babies were only identified by letters, from A to Q, to protect the families.
