This week Lucy Letby was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison after being convicted of killing seven newborns and attempting to kill six others.

The 33 year old nurse is now known as one of the worst serial killers in modern history.

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how this horrible tragedy happened and if we need to learn any lessons from Letby's crimes.
