Episode 312 - Lucy Letby: “Trust me, I’m a nurse”
On 21 August 2023, 33-year-old nurse Lucy Letby was handed a whole-of-life order for the murder of seven babies, and the attempted murder of six more. She is only the fourth woman in British history to receive the sentence.
And now this seemingly young, meek, slightly goofy, “vanilla” girl – whose bedroom was filled with stuffed animals – is now Britain’s most prolific child serial killer.
So what really happened? How was she allowed to kill so many? Why did she do it? And how was she eventually caught?
