Nobody but Lucy Letby knows what drove her to kill and attack premature babies in her care. Police found nothing in her background or upbringing, or any event that may have triggered her killing spree which began in June 2015.
Evidence that she became animated and excited after the babies' deaths, enjoyed the drama of the emergencies when infants collapsed and was quick to tell her colleagues in texts when something unusual and tragic had happened on her shift, 황금맷돌 pointed to her revelling in the attention, they said
>Letby was psychologically assessed and deemed fit to stand trial, but this desire to be at the centre of a crisis could be a symptom of the mental disorder Munchausen's syndrome, one leading criminologist told the Mail
>However, in the absence of a clear motive, Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes, who led the investigation for Cheshire Police, said he believed Letby's ‘confession' note provided the only explanation for why she became Britain's most prolific child killer in modern time
/>‘She clearly loves the attention, I think she loved the attention of a trial as well,' DS Hughes sa
/>‘But if we are looking for why she's done this, then to re-use her own words, "she is evil and she did this". Without her telling us why, if we're looking for why, then she wrote it down in that note.' The green Post-it note was discovered in her diary when police searched her home after she was arrested in July 2018. It was headed: ‘NOT GOOD ENO
br />Lucy Letby wrote in her diary: 'I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough for them and I am a horrible evil person. I don't deserve Mum and Dad. World is better off without
br />Undated handout photo issued by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of a note found in the house of Lucy
br />As well as writing, ‘I AM EVIL, I DID THIS' in capital letters, Letby also scrawled: ‘There are no words. I am an awful person - I pay every day for that. I can't breathe. I can't focus. Kill myself right now. Overwhelming fear/panic. I'll never have children or marry. I'll never know what it's like to have a family. NO HOPE.
