Ah see I never quite get this disbelief some people have that somebody, anybody, could do this - certainly if you follow true crime you soon learn that there have, and are, some really disturbing and depraved individuals on this planet. Really sick people about. Torture, SA, of adults children or animals. When it first seeped to the media about a nurse being arrested for baby deaths I thought oh here we go.
I do follow true crime though! Often I can stay detached but with this case, no. I think because her victims were so completely vulnerable and she was meant to be caring for them. It's terrifying.

If anyone wants to be serious about race being a factor in the case, they'd point to why Lucy Letby could see a 'white' baby had turned blue in a darkened room with a canvas hood over the baby, but couldn't see an asian baby had turned blue in a lit room in broad daylight.

When you look at where this race narrative comes from it stinks of a PR campaign designed to obscure matters.

Also one should consider the number of 'non white' (whatever that means) people involved in this case.... and then extrapolate it across Lucy Letby's training and her practice as a nurse.
And then ask, why Lucy Letby would make that claim about not seeing the baby had turned blue: or purple, or grey, or white, or whatever colour the baby actually was at the time.

But if it takes people's mind off matters that were actually addressed in the court and are actually relevant, and it keeps 'em happy, good luck to them.
And hats off to the PR guru that dreamed it up and got it trending.
I'm embarrassed to admit this but I don't know what you mean. Please can I ask?!

Will he have got paid for this otherwise why the heck would you, it’s not something to be boasting about
If I was him I would be on holiday this week away from the press noseying in my windows.

I mentioned this article back a bit, I think they approached his house, he made a generic comment and then didn’t comment further when the reporter asked “how do you feel living in the home of a serial killer”

It’s often those in positions that give them access to vulnerable people that do things like this e.g. Ian Huntley, Saville etc.

I'm a fairly seasoned campaigner with true crime as well and I think knowing a person's psychopathology/childhood traumas etc can go a long way in helping one being detached. This case really got to me too and I deliberately stayed off the LL threads because I was completing my psychology postgrad last year and kept it solely to press reports of proceedings etc (when I felt up to it). I think the case has really gotten under people's skin because it's so counterintuitive to think of a nurse murdering vulnerable little babies in cold blood. Added to that the fact that nobody can really say for certain why. And the myriad missed opportunities because of inept and egocentric NHS management. It's deeply upsetting on so many levels.

And would a statutory inquiry force the government to make any changes that comes out of the inquiry (eg increase staffing) whereas non-statutory wouldn’t?
It’s like the gov investigating itself, they’ll want to protect CEOs, directors etc. in hospitals (can’t remember the job titles in question) as much as possible. It’s why so many inquiries into police and other public services don’t happen until years later.

Quick question does any one know how Lucy has been in the trial? I know I’ve read somewhere that she has cried a few times but I mean hasn’t she fought for her innocence and shouted I’m innocent or something because I’m just thinking if I was in court accused of murdering poor tiny babies when I haven’t done I would Certainly be going off the rails wanting someone to try and believe me, but that’s just me any way lol.

Impassive and robotic by all accounts. It was noted by prosecution that the only times she showed emotion was for herself and her own potential demise, i.e. crying when she saw police photos of her own bedroom, crying with Doctor A was called to give evidence......my heart bleeds

I am the same. I feel so disturbed by it.

Does anyone know if she was a twin whose sibling died prior to birth? Cannot begin to fathom anything about this person but any ideas why she seemed to target multiples?

I think it’s been widely discussed on here that it’s probably so she could continue see the parents (who would of course still be there with the surviving child/ren), and therefore see the detestation and chaos she was causing.

There’s also the fact that multiple pregnancies do have more possibility of early delivery so may be more likely to need neonatal care than singleton pregnancies.

Nothing like that has been released.

But multiples tend to need NICU because they are born at earlier gestations compared to a singleton, so she had the sick pleasure of seeing parents continued pain more than once.
