Every word judge said as baby murderer Lucy Letby told she will never leave jail

These are all the words the judge said as Lucy Letby, the nurse who murdered babies on the neonatal unit where she worked, was sentenced today at Manchester Crown Court.

"I shall deliver the remarks as if she was present to hear them and I direct that she is provided with a transcript of my remarks and copies of the victim personal statements read to the court." "You also claimed that you never did anything that was meant to hurt a baby, and only ever did your best to care for them. That was but one of the many lies you were found to have told in this case.

"The methods you employed to carry out your murderous intent were only revealed by the later, detailed investigation into the events of, and surrounding, the collapses and deaths of the babies, which commenced in 2018. There was premeditation, calculation and cunning in your actions. "You knew that the last thing anyone working in the unit would or did think was that someone caring for the babies was deliberately harming them. As the number of unexpected and unexplained collapses and deaths escalated, senior doctors started to think the unthinkable and consider the possibility that someone was, in fact, deliberately harming babies, and you were identified as the common factor.

“I’m satisfied you started to keep these documents after those initial offences in June 2015 as morbid records of the dreadful events surrounding the collapses of your victims and what you had done to them. You had a fascination with the babies and their families, which extended to making repeated searches on Facebook for their parents - sometimes immediately following the events, and on occasions much later.

"It is no part of my function to reach conclusions as to the underlying reason or reasons for your actions. Nor could I, for they are known only to you. I must pass appropriate sentences according to law, addressing the seriousness of your offences, the facts of which I now describe briefly..."
