The most prolific child killer in modern British history will never be eligible for release from prison.

Lucy Letby murdered seven babies in a Cheshire hospital's neonatal unit, and tried to kill another six.

The 33-year-old has been handed a rare whole life order by Mr. Justice Goss.

She wasn't in court for sentencing, but the judge will ensure she'll hear what the victim's families had to say.
