Lucy Letby ‘playing God’ when she attacked and killed babies, court hears

Nurse believed she could do ‘whatever she wanted’ when she murdered two triplets and attacked third baby, jury told

Lucy Letby was “completely out of control” and “playing God” when she murdered two triplets and attacked a third baby on her return from a holiday in Ibiza, a court has heard.

Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC said the nurse, 33, had “got away with so much” at that point it gave her the “misplaced confidence that she could pretty much do whatever she wanted” at the Countess of Chester hospital’s neonatal unit.
