neither do I.As I mentioned yesterday, photos are normal. For some families those photos may be the only ones they have of their baby without nasal tubes or being hooked up to a machine, and are cherished for that reason.
I don’t get the impression from the mother’s statement that LL was bouncing in the room with a jolly disposition snapping pictures, just that something about her overall demeanour was unusual. JMO.
two seemingly different accounts of that situation.
“Two nurses, including Letby, asked if the mother wanted to bathe Child I.
While bathing, Letby was "smiling and kept going on about much she was present at [Child I]'s first bath and how much [Child I] had loved it.
"I wished she'd just stop talking. i think, eventually, she realised. It wasn't something we wanted to hear right now.
"I remember it was Lucy who packaged up [Child I]'s belongings."”

and
“After Child I was pronounced dead, her parents were moved to a private room at visiting time. They then agreed to bathe their daughter’s body.
She said: “Lucy brought the bath in. She said she could come in and take some photos which we could keep. While we were bathing her, Lucy came back in. She was smiling and kept going on about how she was present at the first bath and how [Child I] had loved it.
“I wished she would just stop talking. Eventually she realised and stopped. It was not something we wanted to hear. I remember it was Lucy who packaged up [Child I’s] belongings to go home.”

Lucy Letby: nurse offered to take photos of baby she had killed, court hears
Nurse denies murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others at neo-natal unit in Chester
So she didn’t walk back in smiling but smiled Whilst the child was being bathed. I’m going with the chester account, the guardian seems to have Arranged the info purposely? I really don’t know what to think there though. Not so clear cut about how that actually happened. Smiling whilst the baby was being bathed isn’t necessarily too far out especially when LL stopped doing what she must have realised was making the parents uncomfortable if that’s the right word. I can’t tell for sure but she may have been trying to comfort them. It would I think depend on what she said and how long she spoke for before stopping.
