Officers had found notes she wrote then stashed in a black bin liner at home which read: "Murderer", "Murder", "I am evil", "I did this", "I killed them" and "I am a horrible evil person".

In police interviews shown in the Netflix documentary The Investigation of Lucy Letby, she says she wrote them as “everything had got on top of me”.

Confession

The scribblings were used by the prosecution, who claimed they were a form of confession.
