The judge recalls the events that led to the death of Child A, by an air embolus, in June 2015. He says Letby knew of the dangers of air getting into the intravenous system.
In the aftermath of Child C's death, Letby had made an inappropriate comment to the family, telling them they had said their goodbyes.
For Child D, Letby was involved in her resuscitation, and referred to 'an element of fate' in the case.

The judge is now going through the case of each baby.
Baby A died as a result of injection of air. The judge says: "In common with all nurses you knew from your training the dangers of air getting into the venous system".
The judge says four days after baby B's collapse, baby C collapsed and died. "He was vulnerable with a lung infection, treated by antibiotics. You messaged a colleague saying you needed to 'throw yourself back in and take an ICU baby soon'," he says.
"You injected an excessive amount of air down baby C's nasogastric tube. Before he passed away you made a very insensitive comment to his parents about saying their goodbyes."

For Child E, Letby sought to reassure the mother on the sight of bleeding. The sight of him dying from a bleed was "harrowing". Letby had said "it could have happened to anyone".
For Child F, Letby poisoned him with insulin - only very small volumes were needed for it to have an effect. He continued to have "dangerously low" blood sugar levels. Child F recovered, but has severe learning difficulties. This method was repeated, eight months later, for Child L.

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".


that element shared by double murderer nurse Ben Green, Horton Hospital, Oxford 2004

'..... injected a number of patients with dangerous drugs in order to cause respiratory arrest so he could enjoy the 'thrill' of resuscitating them.... Geen was known at Horton General Hospital as a nurse who always looked for action.[3] Colleagues noted that whenever patients unexpectedly fell ill Geen was around, leading to them nicknaming him 'Ben Allitt''
