A hospital neonatal nurse in Britain accused of killing seven babies and trying to kill 10 others poisoned two infants deliberately with insulin, a British prosecutor said Monday. Lucy Letby, 32, has been charged with murder in the deaths of five baby boys and two girls, and the attempted murder of five boys and five girls, while she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwest England between 2015 and 2016.
Letby earlier pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The BBC reported that the court heard that one mother walked in on Letby as she was allegedly killing her baby. Manchester Crown Court heard that the mother of the child — identified by the initial "E" — did not realize he was being attacked and was told by the nurse the blood from his mouth was due to a tube.
