The parallels between Lucy Letby and another killer nurse, Victorino Chua, are striking - both used synthetic insulin to attack their victims, showed zero remorse and even penned secret confessions nobody else was supposed to see.
Baffled medics used sugars like glucose and dextrose to revive patients, only to watch them crash again, unaware the saline drips and ampoules they were using had been sabotaged. His finding - that the insulin was a synthetic substance called Lanctus Gargine - proved it could not have been generated by the body and that it must have been administered.
The synthetic insulin had either been administered by accident or on purpose - the jury concluded Letby did it to harm the two babies. Det Supt Paul Hughes, who led the Letby probe, confirmed detectives who had nailed Chua had ‘offered advice’, particularly around the use of synthetic insulin as a weapon.
Police found it in the kitchen drawer of his terraced home in Heaton Norris when they arrested him in 2012. He claimed in court it was simply written to release tension on the advice of his counsellor. He wrote that he sometimes thought about taking his own life but admitted ‘I know if I go, I go straight to hell no question ask’.
