Lucy Letby Revealed as 'Very Strange' on First Night in UK Jail

A former prison officer named Dave, who worked at Styal Prison, shared a rare insight into convicted child murderer Lucy Letby during her first night in custody. Letby, who was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital, was described by Dave as a "very, very strange character" and appeared dishevelled and drained, with her hair color changed from blonde to brown. Dave was assigned to a "constant watch" overtime shift unexpectedly and was informed upon arrival that Letby was the inmate he would be monitoring. She was held in the segregation unit, and Dave noted that there was minimal interaction between them during the night. He also speculated that if other inmates had known the nature of her crimes, she would not have been treated well. After a few days in custody, Letby was transferred following her sentencing to 15 whole-life terms.
