LUCY Letby will be the “target of napalm attacks” in jail and will be constantly “looking over her shoulder”, a former prison boss claims. NHS nurse Letby was convicted of another newborn baby’s attempted murder this month following a retrial.
Last year she was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill another six at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The 34-year-old is serving 15 whole-life orders for the offences and will die in prison.
Letby is thought to be an inmate at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, after she was moved from HMP Low Newton in Durham. Retired prison governor Vanessa Frake spent three decades in charge of inmates like Myra Hindley and Rose West. Vanessa said prison officers will have their work cut out trying to stop lags from attacking Letby.
She told the Mirror: “You’ve got the likes of serial killer Joanna Dennehy behind bars who murders for fun. “Women who have had children, who are carers and nurturers, will see the likes of Letby as lower than low. “I imagine she will be looking over her shoulder for the rest of her time.”
