00:00 This was a cruel, calculated, and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest
00:09 and most vulnerable of children, knowing that your actions were causing significant physical
00:16 suffering and would cause untold mental suffering.
00:23 You created situations so that collapses or causes of collapses would not be obvious or
00:30 associated with you.
00:32 You removed and retained confidential records of events relating to your crimes and checked
00:39 up on bereaved parents.
00:42 There was a deep malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions.
00:48 During the course of this trial, you have coldly denied any responsibility for your
00:54 wrongdoing and sought to attribute some fault to others.
00:59 You have no remorse.
01:01 There are no mitigating factors.
01:04 In their totality, the offences of murder and attempted murder were of exceptionally
01:10 high seriousness, and just punishment, according to law, requires a whole life order.
01:20 Lucy Letby, on each of the seven offences of murder and the seven offences of attempted
01:26 murder, I sentence you to imprisonment for life.
01:31 Because the seriousness of your offences is exceptionally high, I direct that the early
01:37 release provisions do not apply.
01:41 The order of the court, therefore, is a whole life order on each and every offence, and
01:48 you will spend the rest of your life in prison.
