London – Horror nurse Lucy Letby (33) will die behind bars. Just three weeks ago, Letby was convicted of cruelly killing seven babies at the Countess of Chester hospital and planning to kill others.
Lucy Letby is simmering in prison forever. But the grief of the affected parents remains, and it runs deep. BILD met a grieving mother.

“The death of 4000 babies is being investigated,” says Emily Morris (35) to BILD. One of the dead babies was Emily’s young son, Alvin. He was born on January 2nd, 2013 at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England – and he died there on February 7th, 2013.
“The baby came three weeks before the due date. It was in the breech position and had to be born by caesarean section,” the young mother recalls the terrible time ten years ago. The little boy suffered from an inherited muscle disease.
Alvin saw the light of day on the first gray Wednesday in January. “He weighed over seven pounds,” says the mom. “At first he stayed with Emily. He was fine,” recalls stepfather Mark Lewis (39).

Two days following the birth, Alvin was given a reflex test and a blood test. “Something was wrong with him, we were told,” says Mark. The baby was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. “He stayed there until his death,” are the words of the grieving mother.
Terrible for the parents: Lucy Letby worked as a pediatric nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Apparently Letby had taken the little one to heart. When Alvin was baptized on February 1st, the killer nurse was there. “She was on duty that day,” says Emily.
The convicted baby killer even wrote a dedication in Alvin’s baptismal book. Emily shares: “She wrote: To Alvin, with love on your special day. Lucy x” (the x stands for a kiss, adR).

Emily and Mark remember Letby repeatedly approaching Alvin in the stroller and patting him. “That was a bit strange,” the parents say today. The baby initially did well in the intensive care unit. “He was in room #3 and was supposed to come into the fourth room. So he was regarding to be released,” says Emily.
However, on the evening of February 6th, Lucy Letby was the nurse on duty. It was not good for her that evening. She actually wanted to go home, but didn’t. That’s why Mark and Emily stayed in the hospital and slept there.
When they woke up once more, pure horror awaited them. Emily relates: “The next morning, another nurse knocked on our bedroom door. She entered, no doctor was there. We went to the room Alvin was in. He was already dead. They said nothing to us. We didn’t even get to say goodbye to him. They just gave Mark the baby and said he was dead. So today we think Lucy had something to do with it.”
When they contacted police, they found, “Alvin was one of the names on file.” Her late son was among the children whose deaths were being investigated.

Just last week, Emily and Mark spotted a photo that sent chills down their spines. In a souvenir box they found a CD, which they now watched for the first time. On it: photos of Alvin’s christening. One shows Lucy helping Letby with the ceremony.
Emily Morris sadly remembers her son: “He was such a happy baby, laughed a lot. He had blue eyes and lots of hair.”
Lucy Letby was sentenced to life imprisonment on August 14, 2023. You were proven seven murders of newborns, six other babies tried to kill the nurse.
