BABY KILLER LETBY GETS KEY TO CELL

Cushy life in her private jail is 'no different to living in hotel'

- SASKIA ROWLANDS

BABY killer Lucy Letby has been given a key to her own cell in a move that has infuriated her victims' families.

It comes just five months after the nurse got a whole life sentence without parole for murdering seven newborns and trying to kill six more.

The perk means Letby can hide from other lags whenever she wants and lock herself in if she feels threatened.

It is understood to be given to convicts as an incentive for good behaviour.

One grieving parent told us: "We thought they were throwing away the key, and now we find out that she has her own key.

And a prison insider said: "It means if she wants to socialise she can, and if she wants privacy she can have that too. It's really no different to living in a hotel - but you're surrounded by criminals."
