Chapter 53: The UK's Most Prolific Child Killer-Lucy Letby Pt. 1

The Book of the Dead

It's been a long time coming, but we are finally bringing you the story of Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby, a woman, by all accounts, that was meek and a little nerdy, working as a neonatal intensive care nurse. A job not many people could handle. One would think she would be considered an angel for the work that she did caring for the tiniest and most fragile of babies. But this so-called angel was a devil in disguise.
