The ongoing inquiry into Lucy Letby’s heinous actions has unveiled chilling details about her interactions with colleagues during her time at Countess of Chester Hospital. Letby, who murdered seven infants and attempted to kill seven more between June 2015 and June 2016, reportedly joked about murder with a fellow nurse, raising serious questions about the culture within the hospital.
During the Thirlwall Inquiry, which is currently taking place at Liverpool Town Hall, testimony revealed that Letby had a troubling exchange with union representative Hayley Griffiths. The two discussed the television series How to Get Away with Murder in early 2017, a year after Letby was reassigned to clerical duties due to escalating concerns about her actions on the neonatal unit.
Griffiths shared that she was learning “good tips” from the show, to which Letby responded that she could offer her own advice. Their conversations included unsettling remarks about practicing murder and covering it up, leading to questions about Letby’s state of mind.
Griffiths later expressed deep regret for these conversations, acknowledging their insensitivity given the gravity of the accusations against Letby. She admitted that her comments were unprofessional and deeply remorseful for any distress they may have caused to the families of victims.
The inquiry also reviewed a letter from Letby’s parents, John and Susan, expressing their shock at the allegations against their daughter. They described her experiences as “hell” and emphasized their belief in her innocence.
The couple articulated their anguish over knowing that colleagues labeled their daughter a murderer while she maintained that she would never harm an infant. They expressed concern for her well-being as she faced these grave accusations and questioned whether there was bias against her from hospital staff.
Letby is currently serving 15 life sentences after being convicted of multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. As the inquiry continues, it seeks to uncover not only the extent of Letby’s crimes but also the institutional failures that allowed such tragedies to occur.
The investigation remains crucial for understanding how such events transpired within a healthcare environment meant to be nurturing and safe. As more evidence emerges, it is essential to reflect on how hospitals can better protect vulnerable patients in the future.
