Baby Killer

Baby Killer - The Lucy Letby Story by Stu Armstrong delves into one of the most disturbing criminal cases in modern British history. Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital, was convicted for the murders and attempted murders of multiple infants in her care between 2015 and 2016. Armstrong traces the chilling timeline of tragic events, examining each incident from initial suspicions to Letby's eventual arrest and conviction.

The book explores the internal conflicts faced by hospital staff and administrators as they grappled with an inexplicable rise in neonatal deaths. Despite warnings from concerned doctors and signs pointing toward Letby's possible involvement, the system's delayed response allowed her to continue working until police intervention. Armstrong not only provides a factual recounting but also examines the wider implications of this case, from institutional oversight failures to the devastating impact on families and the community. Through meticulous research, Baby Killer captures the horror of these events and the resilience of those who fought for justice. A 'must read' for any True Crime fan
