A nurse accused of murdering seven babies at the United Kingdom hospital where she worked denied on Tuesday ever trying to harm them, as she gave evidence at her trial.
Confirming she had cared for hundreds of babies during that period, she was asked by her lawyer, Ben Myers, if she ever wanted to hurt them.
“No, that’s completely against being what a nurse is,” Letby replied.
The neo-natal nurse was first informed she was being blamed for the deaths in a letter from the Royal College of Nursing union in September 2016.
Letby, originally from Hereford in western England, was initially placed on clerical duties before her arrest in July 2018.
