Baby serial killer Lucy Letby will die behind bars after a judge sentenced her to serve a whole-life order for the murders and attempted murders of 13 infants.

Handing down the term to the disgraced nurse—who refused to leave her cell to appear before Manchester Crown Court—Mr. Justice Goss described Letby’s crimes as cruel, calculated and “completely contrary to the normal human instincts.”
