From Morning Report, 7:34 am on 22 August 2023

British nurse Lucy Letby will spend the rest of her life in prison with no chance of parole, for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six more.

Between 2015 and 2016, she deliberately injected babies with air, force fed others milk, and poisoned two of the infants with insulin.

The judge, Justice Goss, called her actions cruel and calculated.
