In Manchester, England this week the woman pictured above  was found guilty of terrible crimes. As a paediatric nurse, she had taken the opportunity to murder seven vulnerable babies on a neonatal hospital ward in the  city of Chester. She had also attempted to murder six others. There may have been other similar crimes that we do not know about.

Her name is Lucy Letby. The photo at the top of this blogpost was only released in the last four days. I think it shows her emptiness. A slightly twisted mouth and hollow eyes. She was caught and the game was up.

I think that this is the picture that we should see from now on - whenever  her case is reported. Previously, we had become used to a very different image of her. A pretty and devoted paediatric nurse sparkling in  her uniform but this is not who she was . It was just a disguise...
Letby will b e sentenced on Monday and of course it is firmly expected that she will spend the rest of her life in prison. She broke the hearts of several families and broke the trust that had been placed in her. Above all she stole away the lives of seven tiny children who had uncharted paths to follow. Lives of hope and dreams and ups and downs and love and tears and laughter. She had no right to do that. No right at all.
Letby has already said that she will not attend her sentencing. I think that it is so wrong. You many not agree with me but I would have her dragged into court and be forced to face the music - including the statements from bereaved parents. She should not have any choice in the matter in my humble opinion.
