I've been thinking about how to express it but that's very much the way I feel about those cases. They definitely feel to have been "built around" LL, as you say. They just seem totally different and out of context to all the others.
Yes, not sure of the actual date the insulin was discovered or when she was first questioned regarding it.
Agreed, there is something different about the approach. In the alleged attacks that preceded this though ( babies B,C and D,) LL was not the designated nurse, so we were already seeing a shift away from LL being directly caring for the child.The others are essentially "contact" assaults, where it is alleged that someone has applied "hands-on", physical force in order to do something directly to the victims.
To me this is where it gets interesting. So the alleged attack on child D was on the 22nd June.It, to me, seems strange that someone would carry out numerous crimes of one type and then totally change MO for a couple and then switch back again. Not that it's impossible, obviously, but they just seem totally detached from the others.
Some 8 days after the alleged offence LL messages a colleague.
"On June 30, following the deaths of Child A, C and D, and the non-fatal collapse of Child B, Letby's colleague messaged her there was something "odd" about what had happened.
Letby replied: "What do you mean? Odd that we lost three and in different circumstances?"
Letby's colleague responded: "I don't know, were they that different?"
The colleague added: "Ignore me, I'm speculating."
So IMO this could be why LL mixed up the method and moved over to insulin.
