Nurse Lucy Letby ‘drank fizz & went to the races’ after murder of seven babies
NURSE Lucy Letby was “drinking fizz and going to the races” after the murder of seven babies, a jury heard yesterday.
She admitted she “had a good time” socially.
In court yesterday she was quizzed over events from 2016, when she was removed from the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital, and her 2018 arrest.
On one occasion Letby, 33, went to London with a married registrar she denies an affair with.
She claims senior staff tried to hold her responsible for hospital failings.
At Manchester crown court Nick Johnson KC said: “You were having a good time?”

She replied: “Yes, there were times.”
He said: “Drinking fizz, going to the races. You felt like this because you knew that you had killed . . . these children.”
Letby, of Hereford, said: “No.”
She denies all the charges. Trial continues.
