Lucy Letby will die in prison after receiving 14 whole-life sentences – By Tom Gillespie and Rebecca Harty (Sky News) / Aug 21, 2023
The judge said Letby showed a “malevolence bordering sadism” as he handed her a whole-life order for every charge she faced.
Lucy Letby will die in prison after being handed 14 whole-life orders for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others while working on a hospital’s neonatal unit.
The judge imposed a whole-life order for each offence she committed, meaning she will spend the rest of her life in prison unless under very exceptional circumstances.
She faced seven murder charges and seven counts of attempted murder because she tried to kill one of the babies twice.
Letby, 33, did not appear in court for her sentencing – something which has renewed calls for a law forcing criminals to face justice in person.
