A court in Manchester has been told that a nurse accused of murdering seven babies wrote their initials in her diary on the dates she is alleged to have attacked them. Jurors were shown images of Lucy Letby’s diary, in which she had recorded the days on which some of her alleged victims died. In the trial at Manchester crown court, the document was also shown that included the names of the babies alongside the words: “I don’t know if I killed them. Philip Astbury, prosecuting, showed photos of Letby’s bedroom to the jury, in which she appeared in tears as it was presented to the court. Maybe this is all down to me.”The items were recovered from Letby’s bedroom after her first arrest at her Chester home in July 2018.
