Neonatal nurse Lucy Letby, the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern British history, was given multiple whole-life sentences today and will spend the rest of her life behind bars.

The 33-year-old was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six other infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Letby isn't the first medical professional to use their training and uniform to deceive and manipulate colleagues and relatives, and to kill patients.
