UK nurse was ‘playing God’, ‘wanted attention’: Investigators outline motives why Lucy Letby killed babies

livemint.com:

Lucy Letby killed her last victims, she was "completely out of control", adding that "she was in effect playing God". “She was controlling things. She was enjoying what was going on.

She was predicting things that she knew were going to happen. She, in effect, was playing God," the prosecutor said. During the probe when the investigators were searching the nurse’s house, they found some hand-written notes on which Lucy Letby had written: “I am evil, I did this." The prosecutors also mentioned that Lucy Letby had started getting a thrill out of this.

The prosecutors also mentioned one of her hand-written notes to explain the motive behind the killings in which she had written that she was not good enough in taking care of the children. “I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them….I will never have children or marry. I will never know what it's like to have a family," one of the notes mentioned.

Lucy Letby has, however, denied the allegations. When she gave evidence at the trial, she insisted she "always wanted to work with children" and said it was "devastating" to find out she was blamed for the deaths. (With agency inputs)
