I am going to tell all of you reading about a True Crime Case that I happen to find very tragic and that floats around in the back of my mind. Please sit back and try to relax while I tell you about Chester Hospital and it\u2019s \u201cKiller Nurse\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucy Letby is a thirty-five-year-old former neonatal nurse and a serial killer. In August of 2023, Letby was convicted of murdering seven infants and the attempted murders of seven others. It is likely this killer has murdered or assaulted many more infants. Letby would go about her crimes by giving the infants too much insulin, ripping out their breathing tubes, or injecting air bubbles into their bloodstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleagues, before Letby had been convicted, reportedly called her an \u201cangel of death.\u201d This is because every time Letby was on shift, an infant would suddenly get sick. It didn\u2019t matter if the infant had been doing well, getting stronger, or was strong already. When Letby was near no infant was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Letby was still working at Chester Hospital she was also known as a bit of a nightmare. Letby was one of those goody-two-shoes who \u201cwanted to do her job and yours too\u201d. During her time there Letby began to obsess over a married doctor, who during trial was referred to as Doctor A. It is a theory that Letby\u2019s motive to kill these innocent babies was to gain Doctor A\u2019s attention and sympathy. Pathetic right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were rumors that Chester Hospital was haunted, or cursed, due to the number of infants dying. There were theories that the water was tainted. Come to find out the reason behind all the lives of the Nicu babies being cut short, was one evil woman. It\u2019s truly terrifying to think that the people who hold the lives of the most vulnerable people could be like Lucy Letby. It makes you wonder if there are others and they just haven\u2019t been caught yet? If there were others and they got away with it? Horrifying, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you all would like me to continue writing about true crime cases it\u2019d be cool if you\u2019d let me know. Have a wonderful day, and if you\u2019d like to learn more about this case, I suggest Stephanie Soo\u2019s \u201cRotten Mango\u201d podcast.
