Just been doing some research using the cases notes. In terms of any pattern in method it isn’t obvious if it’s there. If guilty apparently LL used less lethal methods more often than not and most fatalities are clustered around Baby A, early on.
Cases involving a fatality are baby A,C,D,E,I,O and P.
Notice how significant margin is clustered around Baby A. Most fatal method so far is stomach air embolism suspected in four cases (c,I,o,p) followed by vein embolism with three (a,d,e). Other suggested attempted methods are all surviving insulin (f,l), excessive feeding (g,q), sabotaging equipment, moving air tubes, unknown causes of desats and collapses (h,j,k,n). Baby G is said to be brain damaged. There are also three strong instances of a child being attacked multiple times again suggesting concerted efforts on the part of the accused (e,h,o).
Greater lethality is associated with the earlier cases suggesting if killing was the intention, the method did not change upon learning of babies surviving. There is one instance of note in terms of lethality, baby O actually received both venous embolism and stomach air embolism as well as being the baby with liver trauma and being the brother of another fatality in child p. If guilty Baby O got way more of LL than others, I wonder why?
IMO.
