Lucy Letby, born on January 4, 1990, is a British former neonatal nurse and convicted serial killer. She gained notoriety for the murder of at least seven infants and the attempted murder of six others between June 2015 and June 2016, making her the most prolific serial killer of children in modern British history. Letby was working at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s intensive care unit, where she had newly qualified, when the spree of infant deaths and collapses began. Notably, these incidents stopped as soon as she was removed from clinical duties in June 2016.
Charged in November 2020, Letby faced a trial lasting almost a year, where unsettling methods were revealed: she injected infants with air or insulin, overfed them, physically assaulted them, and even stole confidential medical documents as mementos of her crimes. In August 2023, she was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order for her crimes against 13 infants.

In August 2023, she was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order for her crimes against 13 infants.
Letby’s earlier life offers a striking contrast to her criminal acts. Born to a finance manager and an accounts clerk, she grew up in Hereford with dreams of becoming a nurse, partly influenced by her own difficult birth. She studied nursing at the University of Chester and even worked as a student nurse, doing placements at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and the Countess of Chester Hospital, before starting her career there in 2012.
Her absence from her own sentencing hearing has led to calls for legal reform, requiring criminals of severe offenses to face their victims’ families in court. The UK government has announced an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding her murders, and there’s ongoing investigation into her role in additional infant deaths at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, where she had training placements.
Lucy Letby is 34 years old (birth date January 4, 1990).
Lucy Letby was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order for the seven murders and seven attempted murders she committed against 13 infants. A “whole life order” means that she is unlikely to ever be released from prison.
