British nurse Lucy Letby on Friday was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others, making her the most prolific child serial killer in modern U.K. history.
The 33-year-old injected the infants with air and other substances while she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwest England between June 2015 and 2016. She was also found guilty of seven counts of attempted murder against six children—with two of the counts relating to two attempts to kill the same child.
The shocking scale of Letby’s crimes was confirmed in the verdicts after jurors deliberated for over 110 hours. Out of the 22 charges she faced in total, the jury also found her not guilty on two counts of attempted murder and they could not reach verdicts in another six counts of attempted murder.
