Beinash Javed, a fellow inmate of convicted child murderer Lucy Letby, has broken her silence to defend the former nurse, insisting she is not the "monster" the public believes her to be.
Javed, who shared a cell with Letby at HMP Bronzefield, described her as a "kind and caring" person who was deeply affected by the accusations against her. "People don’t see the real Lucy," Javed told reporters. "She’s not this evil figure the media has painted her to be."
Behind Bars Together
Javed, serving time for fraud, revealed that she and Letby formed a close bond during their time in prison. "We talked a lot about her case," she said. "Lucy maintains her innocence and is devastated by what’s happened."
Letby, 34, was convicted last year of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others while working as a neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The case shocked the nation and led to widespread outrage.
A Different Perspective
Javed’s comments have sparked debate, with many questioning how anyone could defend a convicted killer. However, Javed insists that the public doesn’t know the full story. "There’s more to this than what’s been reported," she claimed.
Legal experts have cautioned against taking Javed’s words at face value, noting that prison relationships can be complex and emotionally charged. "It’s not uncommon for inmates to form strong bonds, especially in high-profile cases," said criminologist Dr. Emily Carter.
Meanwhile, the families of Letby’s victims have expressed anger at Javed’s remarks. "She has no idea what we’ve been through," one parent said. "Lucy Letby is exactly what the court proved her to be—a murderer."
