In a jaw-dropping turn of events in northern England, Dr. Ravi Jayaram, an Indian-origin doctor, became a pivotal figure in unmasking the sinister actions of nurse Lucy Letby. On Friday, Lucy Letby was handed a guilty verdict for the cold-blooded murder of seven innocent newborns at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

The shocking revelation unfolded when Dr. Jayaram, a vigilant colleague of Lucy Letby, shared his deep-seated suspicions about her involvement in the increasing infant deaths. His haunting words to a news channel were, “Four or five babies could be going to school now if we’d acted sooner.”

Despite the doctor raising alarm bells as early as June 2015 following the deaths of three babies, it took two painstaking years before the National Health Service (NHS) trust permitted a pivotal meeting with the police. “In less than 10 minutes, they knew they had to get involved,” recounted an emotional Dr. Jayaram.

Lucy Letby’s grim deeds came into the spotlight at Manchester Crown Court, where she faced accusations of not only murdering seven infants but also attempting to take the lives of six others.

The courtroom sat in stunned silence as the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) delved into the gruesome tactics Letby employed, turning harmless substances like milk and fluids into lethal weapons. Pascale Jones of the CPS aptly described her malevolence: “She weaponised her craft to inflict harm, grief, and death.”

Twisted evidence like doctored notes and deceptive social media activity was laid bare. But nothing chilled the bones more than Letby’s personal notes confessing her heinous acts, lamenting, “I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them.”

As the dust settles on this harrowing case, with Lucy Letby awaiting her fate at Manchester Crown Court this Monday, families mourn the loss of five baby boys and two baby girls, with the youngest being merely a day old.
