The families of Lucy Letby’s victims told her ‘you are nothing’ and ‘you are evil’ as the serial child murderer refused to appear in court for sentencing.

Letby, 33, the most prolific child serial killer in modern British history, faces a whole life order when Mr Justice Goss hands down her sentence at Manchester Crown Court later.

More than a dozen relatives of Letby’s victims sat in the public gallery for the hearing on Monday and eight jurors returned to see the sentencing.
