The ‘Angel of Death’ nurse Lucy Letby was out celebrating at a hen-do only hours before she murdered her first known victim, it has emerged. The 33-year-old nurse was yesterday convicted on seven counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder, reports the Mirror.
The crimes took place at her work, on the neonatal ward of the Countess of Chester Hospital. The hen-do party went on a bar crawl in York that ended at Vodka Revolution, with the friends wearing badges and the bride-to-be dressed in a white sash.
None of those who partied alongside Letby could have imagined that the next day she would take her first victim - within the first two hours of her shift on June 8, 2015.
The court heard how Letby murdered the defenceless babies in a number of ways, including deliberately injecting them with air, force-feeding with milk, and poisoning them with insulin. This killing spree began the day after the trip to York with friends, reported the Sun.

After the first death, which took place during a shift Letby was covering for another nurse, she said: "It’s awful. I was not even supposed to be working that night." The UK's worst child serial killer who faces prison for decades - and possibly the rest of her life - cried in the dock as the verdict was read out.
She denied all the charges given to her as she faced evidence for 14 days, arguing that her victims could have all died of natural causes. Her mum, Susan, 63, wailed: “You can’t be serious! This can’t be right!” as the
