The ongoing public inquiry into Lucy Letby, a nurse convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to kill seven others, has unveiled chilling details about her behavior prior to her arrest. The inquiry, known as the Thirlwall Inquiry, is examining the events surrounding Letby’s actions at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
During the inquiry, Hayley Griffiths, a union representative who befriended Letby after she was reassigned to administrative duties in 2016, revealed unsettling exchanges between the two. These discussions occurred a year after Letby was removed from the neonatal unit due to concerns about her involvement in unexplained infant deaths.
Griffiths recounted a WhatsApp conversation in which she mentioned watching a show titled How to Get Away with Murder, prompting Letby to suggest she could offer “tips” on evading detection for such crimes.
This troubling dialogue included remarks about needing someone to practice on and suggestions of individuals who could be targeted, which Griffiths later acknowledged as profoundly inappropriate and insensitive. She expressed deep remorse over her participation in these conversations.
The inquiry also examined a letter from Letby’s parents, John and Susan Letby, who defended their daughter against what they described as “sickening allegations.” They claimed that these accusations had devastated their family and expressed disbelief that their daughter could harm anyone, especially vulnerable infants.
In their letter, they articulated their anguish over seeing their daughter labeled a murderer and highlighted her resilience during this tumultuous period. They questioned why she was seemingly being scapegoated for systemic failings within the hospital.
The Letbys expressed concern for Lucy’s emotional well-being and suggested that personal grudges held by some medical staff may have influenced the situation.
As the inquiry continues, it aims to uncover not only the circumstances surrounding Letby’s heinous acts but also potential shortcomings within hospital practices and oversight. With 15 life sentences already served by Letby for her crimes, there remains a pressing need for accountability and reform within healthcare systems to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
The revelations from this inquiry not only highlight individual actions but also raise broader questions about institutional responsibility and patient safety. As more details emerge, families affected by these tragic events seek answers and justice in a case that has captured national attention.
