Lucy Letby went to a salsa party the night after trying to kill a newborn baby.
It only took about an hour after the murder until she said goodbye to her colleague with the phrase Hasta la vista.
And had a good time dancing, according to witnesses.
It’s one of the things that has come to light in the ongoing trial of the 33-year-old nurse accused of killing seven newborn babies and attempting to kill ten others.
100 days celebrated
All the children were premature and therefore in a special service intended for them.
The murders took place at the Countess of Chester Hospital during a leap year, from June 2015 to June 2016.
Letby was admired by her parents for her smile and warmth. They thought.
What was revealed in the lawsuit is that Letby took it upon himself to create a banner to celebrate the 100 day anniversary of a premature baby who was not originally meant to live, weighing only 536 grams at birth.
The table hung above the child’s bed and the family and employees celebrated with cake and coffee.
On the same day, she tried to kill the child without success. She made two more attempts. The young girl survived but suffers from severe cerebral palsy which requires 24/7 care.
Twin brothers murdered
Letby murdered the children by injecting them with milk, insulin and air.
Among other things, Letby inserted insulin into a boy’s feeding tube on August 4, 2015, and he died shortly after. The boy had a twin brother and the parents asked to take him home, but were told there was no proper equipment, but the child needed it at home.

Less than 24 hours later, Letby killed the other twin brother by injecting air into his veins.
Yesterday’s trial also revealed Letby tried to kill a baby girl just over an hour after she was born by removing a tube the baby needed to breathe.
Oxygen hose removed
The hospital in question does not usually accept women who give birth prematurely before 25 weeks of pregnancy, but as a nearby hospital specializing in such cases was overcrowded, the mother was sent to the Countess of Chester Hospital, where Letby worked .
The child was born at 02.12 on February 16, 2016, and Letby was at night. She immediately offered to take over the care of the baby and at 03:15 a doctor arrived who immediately found that the baby was not getting enough oxygen. The child was then without an oxygen tube for 8 minutes before Letby managed to put it back on when she heard the doctor approaching.

The child was then on death’s door, but the doctor managed to put an oxygen mask on the young girl and at 6:07 a.m. she began to breathe again. When he asked Letby how this could have happened, she said the tube probably slipped when she wasn’t looking.
But unfortunately too much time had passed and the child died three days later. The death was due to the precocity of his birth.
Consideration was given to the sympathy Letby showed loved ones and she even sent a sympathy card to at least one ship.
Undoubtedly, more horror stories will emerge during the trial that is currently underway.
