Infamous British nurse, Lucy Letby has been found guilty of the attempted murder of a baby girl.The 34-year-old convicted child killer has been found guilty of the murder of Baby K, much to the relief of the baby’s parents after a jury failed to reach a verdict previously in August.Letby was previously given 14 whole-life orders in prison at Manchester Crown Court for the murder of seven young babies and trying to murder six others, when she was working at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.The jury found Letby guilty on Tuesday July 2 of trying to murder the very premature baby by dislodging her breathing tube 90 minutes after her birth.It took the jury almost four hours to deliver their verdict following the four-week retrial.As the guilty verdict was read out,  Letby reportedly sat in the dock and showed no emotion on her face.Baby K was targeted by Letby after she was moved from the delivery room to the neo-natal unit after her premature birth. The prosecution said Letby interfered with Baby Ks breathing tube on two more occasions during the same shift to create the impression that Baby K was displacing her own tube.The court heard how consultant paediatrician Dr Ravi Jayaram caught Letby virtually red-handed when he entered the neo-natal unit at 3.45am on February 17 2016.He said he saw no evidence that Letby was doing anything to try and help Baby K as she stood by her incubator.When Baby Ks oxygen levels dropped, he told the court he heard no call for help from Letby or alarms sounding.The victim, Baby K was moved to a specialist hospital afterwards because of her premature birth but died three days later.The baby’s cause of death was certified as extreme prematurity and severe respiratory distress syndrome but a post-mortem examination was not carried out.Letby told the jury that she had no recollection of this event and denied the offences she had been convicted of. But almost two years later Letby searched Baby Ks surname on Facebook in April 2018.Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC said this behaviour by Letby became a pattern.Johnson told the court: The truth is that Lucy Letby had a fascination with the babies she had murdered and attempted to murder, and with their families. She took pleasure in her murderous handiwork.Senior Crown Prosecutor Nicola Wyn Williams said: Lucy Letby has continually denied that she tried to kill this baby or any of the babies that she has been convicted of murdering or attempting to murder. The jury has heard all of the detailed evidence including from her in her own defence and formed its own view.Our case included direct evidence from a doctor who walked into the nursery to find a very premature baby desaturating with Letby standing by, taking no action to help or to raise the alarm. She had deliberately dislodged the breathing tube in an attempt to kill her.Staff at the unit had to think the unthinkable that one of their own was deliberately harming and killing babies in their care.Letby dislodged the tube a further two times over the following few hours in an attempt to cover her tracks and suggest that the first dislodgment was accidental. These were the actions of a cold-blooded, calculated killer.The grief that the family of Baby K have felt is unimaginable. Our thoughts remain with them and all those affected by this case at this time. Letby will be sentenced for the attempted murder of Baby K on July 5 at Manchester Crown Court.In September, a public inquiry is set to be launched as to how Letby was able to commit her crimes. The post Serial baby killer Lucy Letby found guilty of attempting to murder newborn appeared first on www.adng.ng Get free adverts.
