Baby killer Lucky Letby's old life has been demolished with her parents uprooted, cats made homeless and house sold.
The 33-year-old sobbed when evidence of her previous life was presented in court. During her 10-month long trial, one of the few times the murderer cried was when images of her childlike bedroom festooned with fairy lights to the names of her beloved cats were shown to the court.

"I was made aware of what had happened when I bought the house. It got released during the investigation and told it was fine to buy it."
