The verdict, following a 10-month trial at Manchester Crown Court, makes Lucy Letby one of Britain's most prolific serial child killers.

KEY POINTS

  • 33-year-old Lucy Letby was convicted on Friday of killing seven babies in the neonatal unit of a hospital in England.

  • A handwritten note found by police officers who searched her home after the arrest read “I killed them on purpose”.

  • Letby will be sentenced on Monday and faces a very long prison term, and possibly a rare full life sentence.
