Neonatal nurse was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six more
He makes clear at the outset that there are reporting restrictions in place banning the identification of the victims or their families – and that these apply to members of the public, as well as the press.Johnson will now read a summary of the counts on which Letby has been convicted – seven of murder and seven of attempted murder, relating to six other babies, spanning from June 2015 to June 2016. He names the babies she murdered and those she tried to kill.
The former neonatal nurse would become only the third woman to be given a whole-life order should the judge pass such a sentence, as has been suggested, at the hearing at Manchester crown court. But, before that, the court expects to hear heartrending impact statements from the many victims of Letby’s crimes. The now convicted murderer has previously indicated she does not intend to return to court to hear her them – nor to hear sentence passed.
