Police investigating the murders of seven babies found a note in the home of neo-natal nurse Lucy Letby saying 'I am evil, I did this', a jury heard this morning.
Letby, 32, denies those murders as well as trying to kill 10 other babies , some more than once, between June 2015 and 2016, when she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital. She is standing trial at Manchester Crown Court charged with seven counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder.
The jury has been told by the prosecution that Letby, from Hereford, allegedly used a number of different methods to attack vulnerable infants being treated in the neo-natal unit, including injecting air into their circulation vie intravenous lines or nasogastric feeding tubes, feeding them too much milk or saline, or poisoning their feed with insulin.
