LONDON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - A British nurse, who penned a note stating "I am evil", was found guilty on Friday of murdering seven newborn babies and trying to kill another six in the neonatal unit of a hospital in northwest England where she worked.
She tried to kill one baby girl three times before finally succeeding on the fourth attempt.
"Lucy Letby was entrusted to protect some of the most vulnerable babies.
"She did her utmost to conceal her crimes, by varying the ways in which she repeatedly harmed babies in her care."
