Still catching up so I don’t know if this has already been mentioned; but she was reported to be a church-goer of sort, she was was reported to attend with her church-type friends. Must find the article..Is it true that LL was religious, if so, wondering if it is 'mainstream' and if it is similar to whichever one was attended to by the doctor recently jailed for killing her 3 children?
speculation, imo, just curious.

I couldn’t agree more with you. And now that fake facade has been shown to the world what she truly is. A disturbed sadistic twisted monster, hiding under the rouse of a sweet meek vulnerable mouse- using items like blankets in court and playing a game of innocence, the poor little girl persona, the baby. She is nothing but a truly disturbed individual.And NOW I can say what I think.
I think she is one of the coldest, cruelest, most diabolical serial offenders I have read about. And I have read about plenty.
I think she LOVED what she did. Loved the chaos she caused. Loved the grief of the families and her coworkers. Loved the fuss the management made over her when she fought against being benched.
I think she feels nothing but contempt for those around her. She plays at being so normal it's abnormal. She manipulated people with ease. She plays at being nice so people feel guilty when they don't like her or suspect her of harm. Her beige is her camouflage. Her nice is her camouflage. It's all superficial, all fake.
I think she looked for victims in the families who had fought the hardest to have kids. Those with kids who had existing conditions, those who were multiples, because she figured less questions would be asked if they died, but also, it would hurt those families more if the babies were fighting against more to live, and she would get to see hope and joy snatched away from them as she watched. But equally, she would attack a child if she had a negative interaction with a parent, or their assigned nurse, or her supervisor. Just to vent her spite and feel powerful.
Nothing makes her happier than seeing others in pain. I disagree with the judge that she was 'bordering on sadism'. Everything she did was about the pleasure she got from causing pain.
She doesn't know how to do people. She has no known past relationships except possibly an affair with a married man. She has friends who defend her, but the messenger conversations with her colleagues show someone more inclined to manipulate her close companions than form bonds of real intimacy.
And I've talked a bit about her postmortem fixation with the families and the bodies of the children.
And no, I don't think she actually has PTSD or needs sensory items, but I think she's smart enough to fake it and knows the optics of her as a sad, broken, harmless person were her best shot in court, because she sure as heck didn't have any strong proof she didn't do it, or a phalanx of experts talking about how it couldn't be her. She had her own testimony, and a plumber.
*deep breath out*
I've been sitting on all that since I joined Websleuths.
MOO
To me this gives a bit more weight to the theory of god complex. If god wanted them to truly live, they would have regardless of her actions.I saw this yesterday if this is any use? Somebody who has followed the trial on WS since the outset will probably have more details
re her sixth form years:
'Described as straight-laced, Letby attended the evangelical Hope City Church and had a close circle of 'churchy' friends – five girls who self-styled themselves the 'Miss-Matches' while studying for their A-levels at Hereford Sixth Form College'
Lucy Letby: Church-goer dubbed 'The Innocent One' by friends
With toys in her bedroom, doting parents and the nickname from friends 'The Innocent One', no one could have thought Lucy Letby was Britain's worst ever serial killer.www.dailymail.co.uk
The only 'god' in this case was LL. For all that she went to church (for show, good optics, part of her mask), I don't think she subscribes to the notion of a higher power than herself. Fortunately, the rest of her life is going to be all about disabusing her of that notion.To me this gives a bit more weight to the theory of god complex. If god wanted them to truly live, they would have regardless of her actions.
Didn’t she say something along the lines of she couldn’t understand why some babies lived and some didn’t? Or words to that effect.
