Lucy Letby, the nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others, told a colleague she could offer her “tips” on getting away with murder, an inquiry into her crimes has heard. Union representative Hayley Griffiths became friends with Letby when the nurse was moved off the neonatal unit in 2016 following concerns from doctors about possible baby harm. Letby and Griffiths had a tongue-in-cheek exchange about the TV drama “How to Get Away with Murder” in early 2017, shortly before Letby’s initial arrest.
Thirlwall Inquiry in Liverpool Town Hall heard Griffiths told Letby she was watching the show and “learning some good tips,” to which Letby replied: “I could have given you some tips x”. Griffiths went on to say: “I need someone to practice on to see if I can get away with it.” Letby then replied: “I can think of two people you could practice on and will help you cover it up x”.
The inquiry also heard a letter written by Letby’s parents which was sent to hospital bosses claiming their daughter was being scapegoated by the hospital. Letby was removed from clerical duties in July 2016, but police were not called until another year had passed. The findings of a grievance complaint that Letby submitted after being removed from the neonatal unit led to demands from hospital bosses that the consultants apologize to her.
Letby’s parents wrote that they were “shocked to the core” when they first read the “sickening allegations” against their daughter. They believed that the hospital consultants had a “personal grudge” against Letby, adding that they were “at a loss” to understand why she had been targeted.
The nurse is currently serving 15 whole life sentences and will spend at least 30 years in prison, with no chance of parole. She was found guilty of seven counts of murder and eight of attempted murder, including two attempts on the same baby. The inquiry continues
