Newly uncovered court documents have revealed startling details about the secret relationship between convicted nurse Lucy Letby and her married doctor boyfriend. The documents, presented during Letby's trial, shed light on their clandestine affair, which unfolded amidst the harrowing backdrop of her crimes.
The Hidden Romance
Letby, who was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others, reportedly engaged in a covert relationship with a senior doctor at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The pair exchanged hundreds of messages, with the doctor often referring to her as "my beautiful angel" and "the love of my life."
Courtroom Revelations
During the trial, it emerged that the doctor was married at the time of their affair. Despite this, he allegedly supported Letby throughout her ordeal, even attending court to stand by her side. The relationship has raised questions about professional boundaries within the NHS, particularly in high-pressure environments like neonatal units.
Public Outcry
The revelations have sparked outrage among the families of Letby's victims, who are demanding a full inquiry into how her actions went unchecked for so long. Many are also questioning the role of hospital management in failing to address concerns about her behaviour.
As the scandal continues to unfold, the focus remains on ensuring justice for the innocent lives lost and preventing such tragedies from happening again.
