Letby was convicted of murdering seven newborns and attempting to kill six other babies while working as a nurse in a British hospital's neonatal unit.
said in an online statement. Letby was also convicted of attempting to kill six other newborns in her care. She will be sentenced on Monday.
The 33-year-old former nurse harmed babies in her care by injecting air into their blood, overfeeding them with milk, and poisoning them with insulin, according to CPS. Investigators uncovered evidence that Letby used various methods to attack babies, including the injection of air and insulin into their bloodstream, the infusion of air into their gastrointestinal tract, force feeding an overdose of milk or fluids and impact-type trauma, according to the statement.
During the trial, prosecutors highlighted key evidence against the former neonatal nurse, which included the medical records of Letby's young victims, her text messages and social media activity and handwritten notes and journals. "Lucy Letby sought to deceive her colleagues and pass off the harm she caused as nothing more than a worsening of each baby's existing vulnerability," CPS Senior Crown Prosecutor Pascale Jones said."In her hands, innocuous substances like air, milk, fluids - or medication like insulin - would become lethal. She perverted her learning and weaponized her craft to inflict harm, grief and death.
