 * Neonatal nurse Lucy Letby, the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern British history, is given a whole-life sentence. The 33-year-old was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six other infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Letby deliberately injected babies with air, force fed others milk and poisoned two of the infants with insulin. She refused to appear in the dock for her sentencing hearing. (BBC News)
