Nurse Lucy Letby was seen getting emotional and wiping her eyes as she gave her first evidence, before saying it’s “very difficult”. She told Manchester Crown Court: “Everything about me and about my life, and the hopes I had for the future, everything is just gone.”
According to Letby, she first became conscious of being blamed for a number of baby deaths in September 2016.
She said the moment was “sickening”.
Letby added: “I don’t think you can be accused of anything worse than that.”
The nurse is facing allegations of killing seven infants and trying to murder ten others.
