Family of baby murdered by Lucy Letby blast calls for her to be freed from jail as ‘sick’ – as killer nurse’s parents express ‘heartfelt thanks

The parents of a baby murdered by Lucy Letby have blasted a ‘sick’ campaign calling for her to be freed run by activists who claim the neonatal nurse’s conviction for killing seven infants is not safe.

Their outrage was further inflamed today after Letby’s parents, Susan, 63 and John, 78, expressed their ‘heartfelt thanks’ to those supporting her bid for freedom.

Letby is serving 15 whole-life sentences after she was convicted of murdering seven newborns and attempting to murder six others – with a further attempted murder conviction secured following a retrial in July.

A host of medical experts and other professionals have since expressed concerns over the strength of the evidence used to convict the nurse.Susan and John Letby, who have not spoken publicly, are actively hoping to overturn what they believe is ‘the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history,’ sources close to the pair told The Mirror.
