Letby: I don't deserve to live. I killed them on purpose...I am evil

" Lucy Letby, 33, cried in the dock when excerpts of her interviews with Cheshire Police after her arrest were read out.

It was said that she wrote on a Post-it note: "I don't deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them.

"I am a horrible, evil person. I am evil. I did this."

Asked about the note, found inside a diary at her home in Chester after her arrest in 2018, she told detectives: "I just wrote it because everything had got on top of me.

"It was when I'd not long found out I'd been removed from the unit and they were telling me my practice might be wrong, that I needed to read all my competencies.

"My practice might not have been good enough.
