Inside the courtroom
The judge continues going through the case of each baby, and says baby D died in the intensive care nursery.
He says: "You [Letby] will have been aware that she was being treated for an infection.
"You decided to kill her, and injected air into her venous system. You were involved in her resuscitation. You sent a message about an 'element of fate' being involved."
You decided to kill baby and then were involved in resuscitation - judge

THANK YOU
My head was ringing! I'm listening on headphones, and I'd rather hear silence.

Attempts were made by Letby to kill Child G, born on the margins of survival but who became stable.
September 7, 2015, was her 100th day of life, and a celebration had been planned by staff. Milk and air was deliberately injected into her stomach by Letby, causing her to projectile vomit, and she desaturated. Letby was nearby, and assisted, and sought to blame a colleague for overfeeding.
Letby referred to her as a 'high risk baby'.
A further attempt was made to kill her by overfeeding, causing her to projectile vomit again, on September 21. The baby girl suffered profound injury to her brain from the September 7, from which she cannot recover, and will require nursing care.
12:53pm
For Child I, the baby girl suffered a series of unexplained and serious episodes.
The judge says it is likely Letby infused air deliberately into Child I, and had caused her to projectile vomit.
At her final collapse, she cried out in severe pain as a result of air embolus. It was "deeply upsetting" for the parents and staff, as Child I died in her parents' arms.

I suspect she will. She kept the handover sheets as a reminder. These are better. So much grief and pain all laid out for her to dip into whenever she needs a pick-me-up.

For Child L, insulin was added by Letby to his dextrose bag, and other bags. Air was also injected into Child M's intravenous system, causing him to collapse.
A piece of paper towel of resuscitation notes had been retrieved from confidential waste by Letby, and found at her home. The event was noted in Letby's diary.
12:56pm
On June 3, 2016, Letby attempted to murder Child N, who had haemophilia. Trauma was inflicited on him by Letby, causing him to scream and desaturate. "Fortunately, he survived."
12:59pm
While on holiday, Letby communicated about the triplets born in June 2016, and 'felt at home' in the intensive care unit.
Child O suffered a series of sudden and unexpected collapses as a result of air injected, and trauma injury to the liver. The horror of the efforts to save him were witnessed by medical staff and the father.
The following day, Child P collapsed and died, murdered by Letby. The surviving triplet was transferred to another hospital, "for safety".
Letby later raised the possibility of air embolus in an unrelated case on July 1, 2016. The "cruelty and calculating" actions of Letby were "truly horrific".
Letby pursued complaints of being treated unfairly after being suspended.
12:59pm
The judge says Letby is now 33, and was over 21 at the time of the offences. Murder convictions result in a life sentence.
He says he has to consider a whole-life order.

Inside the courtroom
Justice Goss is now speaking about baby E and baby F.
The judge says: "Baby E died of air embolus on August 3rd. His bleeding was seen by his mother who was concerned, and you sought to reassure her."
He says at the time, the clinicians thought he'd died of a different condition.
The following night, the judge says, she turned her attention to his twin brother, and added insulin to his feed. "It was not noticeable," he adds.
"You infused a bag that was hung, and several other stock bags so that when they were changed he continued to have insulin.
"Baby F recovered but has severe learning difficulties. No doubt you were reassured that no one suspected insulin had been added, and you went on to attack another baby in the same way eight months later."

Moving on to baby G, Justice Goss says in September 2015 Letby made attempts to kill baby G.
"Although on the margin of survival she did survive. The 7th Sept was her 100th day of life. The nurses had made a banner to celebrate. You injected milk down her nasogastric tube.
"You referred to baby G being a 'high risk baby'.
"You made a further attempt to kill her through overfeeding, causing her to projectile vomit and stop breathing. Baby G suffered a profound injury to her brain from which she will not recover. She requires constant nursing support and attention."

The judge continues to deliver the sentence as if Lucy Letby were in the room, as he explained he would do earlier.
"Just over a month later you murdered baby I," Justice Goss says.
"She suffered a series of episodes. You injected air into her stomach and bowel causing her to desaturate and vomit. You infused air into her venous system.
"She was transferred to another hospital.
Six days after her return to Chester she suffered another collapse, screaming out in pain. It was deeply distressing, including for the medical staff who had known baby I for some time.
"You searched for the baby's mother on Facebook."

He says for attempted murder, whole-life cases are reserved for exceptional cases.
He says Letby killed seven vulnerable babies, and attempted to kill six others.
The crimes were of "very exceptional seriousness", in a neonatal unit.
Letby betrayed others trust, and the confidence of clinicians generally.
"This was a cruel calculated and cynical campaign of child murder".

Justice Goss now moves onto babies O and P, who were two brothers and part of a set of triplets born in June 2016.
"You were on holiday at the time," the judge addresses Letby, who is not in court. "On the first day back you were their designated nurse.
"Baby O suffered a series of sudden, unexpected collapses, and you inflicted trauma to his liver causing significant bleeding.
"The following day you murdered his older brother, baby P forcing air into his stomach which caused his diaphragm to split.
The third triplet was moved to another hospital and to safety, the judge says.
