Summary

πŸŽ™οΈ Lucy Letby: The Dark Truth Behind UK's Worst Child Serial Killer In this episode: Lucy Letbyβ€”the UK neonatal nurse who became Britain's most prolific child serial killer. Between 2015 and 2016, Letby murdered seven babies and attempted to kill six more at the Countess of Chester Hospital. She used her trusted position to carry out these crimes and hospital leadership dismissed doctors' concerns about the suspicious deaths on her shifts. This is a case about institutional failure and a killer hiding behind a caring facade.

A recent documentary just came out about Lucy Leppie also commonly referred to as the UK's worst child serial killer.

0:08.7

And I was at home when this documentary was released.

0:11.2

My parents knew that I had talked about this case over on TikTok before, so they waited for me to watch the documentary.

0:17.1

We watched it.

0:18.8

I don't know.

0:19.9

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. I just felt like

0:24.2

that documentary didn't quite capture the nature of just how horrible Lucy's crimes were,

0:32.1

which is why I decided to make a podcast video on it. And I really want to know your thoughts.

I really want to know if you guys

story. Actually, this is the story of so many grieving mothers, so many babies, so many lives

lost at the hands of one of the most vile human beings the UK has ever seen.

1:19.0

We're talking about loss, specifically the death of babies.

1:22.3

So if you think that listening to this would harm your mental health in any way, shape, or form,

1:27.4

I said it once, I will say it over and over again, your mental health in any way, shape, or form. I said it once.

1:28.4

I will say it over and over again. Your mental health is priority always has been, always will be.

1:33.5

So if you think that listening to this particularly heavy topic is going to affect you in any way,

1:39.2

please skip this video and I will see you in my next one. I mean it, I love you.
