Murder-accused nurse Lucy Letby's notes read 'I killed them', jury told

By Daniel O'DonoghueA nurse accused of murdering babies on a neonatal ward wrote "I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough" on a note at her home, a court has heard.The jury heard they included phrases such as "help me", "I am evil" and "maybe this is all down to me".

The court was told other sentences on the sticky notes included "I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough" and "I can't do this anymore"., which read: "I am evil I did this". A section which was scribbled and crossed out read "I don't know if I killed them maybe I did, maybe this is all down to me", while another part, towards the bottom of the page had the phrase "kill me" written in bolder ink.

One entry from April 2016, shown to the court, read "LD [long day] twins", while the following day had the words "LD twins resus" written on it, alongside the word "salsa" in a different coloured ink. The jury was told the bag's contents included a number of medical documents relating to the children and Ms Letby's NHS name badge.

Looking forward to seeing what headlines the BBC use when the defence start their case. Headlines like this one allows the dregs of society to pipe in with barbaric comments about guilt…without understanding the judicial process or the evidence presented.

Why is this court case taking so long?

Wonder if her name was Shamina you would report it the same DefundTheBBC

Should be sentenced to life imprisonment on the grooming gang sex offenders wing in a male prison. Tell them she's 12 and hates people from Pakistan.

This trial feels as its been going on for ages.

Sheh has suffred enuff

Think you forgot to turn off the comments

Her notes are a decoy to try cover up the fact she knew exactly what she was doing was evil and sadistic. She is a extremely vile evil sicko.

She made the notes in case she got caught to make it look like she's not mentally responsible for her actions for less jail time, she's well aware of the evil she's done, did it out of spite and rage of not having her own kids/husband to destroy others who do have what she dont.

Potential multiple personalities?

Well, did she have Salsa that night? Also we need to know more about the cartoon dog on the cover of her diary

Crikey - this headline is a shocking distortion of the evidence the prosecution is recycling from earlier in the trial.

how long is this trial

I've read the series of post-it notes that she scrawled to herself. It looks like they were written by someone who had multiple personalities. Badly-written, incoherent and rambling as if recording it to remember those actions or a manipulative attempt to give that impression.

How long is this trial taking FFS?

Probably tried accessing mental health help years before , if guilty.

Pretty sure the first chapter of the murders handbook says to put it down in writing. I guess she didn’t read it.

Her Union think she deserves a pay rise apparently…

In law, sub judice, Latin for 'under a judge', means that a particular case or matter is under trial or being considered by a judge or court. Cannot be commented on in public forums. The BBC is breaking the law. And Letby’s team could have her case dismissed.

Guilty as sin.

By the way, is she a member of Rissho Kosei? There was a similar incident in Japan once. Amen

And SpaceX departs. さようなら

Please fast forward to the part she gets a whole life sentence.
