Herefordshire Murders

Product Information

The Crown say the neo-natal nurse injected Child Q with excess air and a clear fluid, possibly water or saline, into his stomach via a nasogastric tube in a bid to murder him. A post-mortem examination found unclotted blood in his body from a liver injury and a coroner certified death on the basis of natural causes and intra-abdominal bleeding. Letby allegedly murdered a five-day-old baby on June 14, 2015, by injecting air into his stomach through a nose tube, a court has heard. She’s an only child, do I have to say anymore? I just feel for them so much. I feel so helpless that there is nothing we can do," one said.

Mr Johnson said an expert paediatrician concluded child B was subjected to “some form of sabotage” and may have been injected with a dose of air.

A spokesperson for the ambulance service said it was called to reports of an incident in Green Street at 5.09am on Sunday morning. Those involved in the case against her said how unusually normal this now convicted child killer seemed. Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Evans, who was part of Cheshire Constabulary's 'Operation Hummingbird', said: "I don't think there's really anything that stands out in describing Lucy Letby. She moved to Chester in Cheshire for three years of nursing training, and carried out placements in Liverpool Women's Hospital and the Countess of Chester Hospital - where she started working full time after qualifying as a children’s nurse in 2011.

Ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support but sadly, despite their best efforts, it became apparent nothing could be done to save the woman and she was pronounced dead. Child P suffered an “acute deterioration” before preparations were put in place to move him to another hospital.At 7.20am Letby gave the baby a glucose infusion, then minutes later child J collapsed again with a seizure and had to be resuscitated, with the help of a doctor. Letby was also pictured in the Chester Standard as part of the neonatal unit's baby grow fundraising appeal, and was quoted saying how she 'enjoyed seeing babies progress and supporting their families.' The force said officers, firefighters, paramedics and a police helicopter were sent to the scene and could not find the missing man.

Child G had two projectile vomits and stopped breathing briefly on September 21 after she was earlier fed milk via a nasogastric tube, allegedly by Lucy Letby, the court heard. Killer nurse Lucy Letby grew up in a three bedroom semi-detached house in Hereford in Arran Avenue.

An expert paediatrician who reviewed child I’s case had concluded the youngster’s deteriorations were consistent with the deliberate administration of a large amount of air into her stomach via a nasogastric tube. The day after allegedly murdering child E, Lucy Letby allegedly used insulin for the first time to poison a baby, the court heard, by trying to murder child E’s twin brother, child F. After an extraordinarily long trial, the nurse from Hereford was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others. In 2011, her parents posted a message in their local newspaper along with a picture of their daughter wearing her mortarboard hat to congratulate her on graduating with honours.
