Susan and John Letby had attended Manchester Crown Court every day during their daughter’s 10-month trial
Lucy Letby’s parents did not attend court to see their daughter sentenced after she was convicted of being the most prolific baby killer in modern British history.
Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit between 2015 and 2016.
Early last week, when the jury reported the first guilty murder verdicts, Mrs Letby broke down in court, crying out: “You can’t be serious. This cannot be right.”
