Mr Justice James Goss details the counts for which Letby is to be sentenced.
He says Letby acted "completele contrary" to human instincts and acted with the intention to deliberately harm them.
He said she had told "many lies in this case".
"There is no doubt that outwardly you were a conscientious and a professional nurse, which allowed you to harm babies without suspicion for some time."
"Your fellow neonatal nurses spoke highly of you, and several became your close friends. You became a mentor to student nurses.
"You relished being in the intensive care nursery."

The judge says: "Lucy Letby... when employed as a nurse... you murdered seven babies and attempted to murder 6 others, in the case of one of them trying on occasions two weeks apart.
"You acted in a way that was completely contrary to normal human instincts.
"You deliberately harmed them intending to kill them... in your evidence you said that hurting a baby is completely against everything that being a nurse is.
"There is no doubt that you are intelligent and outwardly were a very conscientious and professional nurse which enabled you to repeatedly harm babies on the unit without arousing suspicion."

I thought she might get rid of them, but then we know how she likes keeping her papers!

He says the methods of harm were only revealed by the detailed investigation. There was pre-meditation and cunning used.
The great majority of her victims suffered "acute pain" and all "fought for survival". Some sadly died.
He says Letby on some occasions falsified records, and took advantage of family members or staff being away from the babies, to harm them.
He says as the number of unexplained collapses rose, staff began to "think the unthinkable", and Letby was the common factor.

The judge tells Letby "became a mentor to student nurses, and in spring 2015 gained the qualification that enabled you to work in intensive care".
"You relished being in the intensive care nursery.
"The methods you employed to carry out your murderous intent were only revealed by the later detailed investigation.
"There was premeditation, calculation and cunning in your actions.
"You targeted twins and triplets. Some were healthy, others had conditions of which you were aware.

He says Letby would cruelly and callously make inappropriate remarks to family members in the aftermath of a death.
Confidential documents were found at Letby's home, and there were entries in a diary recording relevant events.
He says he is satisfied she kept those documents as "morbid records" of what she had done to those babies.
She made "repeated searches" on Facebook for families. A piece of paper with dense writing was found in the search of her home.
"The world is better off without me" and "I am evil I did this" were on the note.
The statements by parents were deeply moving, the judge adds.

Could you kindly link to that? I missed where it is.I'm reading Victims' Parents' Statements and crying with them.
Father's statement that LL was spying and feeding on his misery during the trial while he was in her line of vision, made me froze in terror.
Real terror

Continuing his sentencing remarks, Judge Mr Justice Goss says: "Senior doctors started to think the unthinkable and consider that someone was in fact harming babies and you were identified.
"You had a detached enthusiasm for the resuscitation of babies," he tells her, and says she "made inappropriate comments to parents".

Siblings have been deprived of brothers and sisters, and Letby had caused deep psychological harm among the families, and relationships have been strained as a result.
He says Letby's motives are known only to her.

Yes, you just won’t hear the middle part where the judge is mentioning the names of the parents and babies.

Handover sheets relating to all but four of the babies were kept by you, the judge tells Letby, although she is not in court.
"I am satisfied that you kept them as morbid records.
"You had a fascination with the babies and their families, searching for them on Facebook. A piece of paper with dense writing on it was found at your home. You wrote 'the world is better off without me' and 'I am evil I did this'."

"The lives of newborn babies were ended almost as soon as they began and life-long harm has been done," says the judge.
"Loving parents have been robbed of their children, and others have to live with the consequences... siblings have to live without their brothers and sisters
"The reasons for your actions are known only to you."
