Good evening. Lucy Letby will spend the rest of her life in jail after being sentenced to a rare whole life order.

Elsewhere, Manchester United have announced Mason Greenwood will leave the club after a seven-month internal investigation.

The country’s worst child killer will die in prison after she refused to attend her sentencing in what families described as “one final act of wickedness”. Letby, 33, was convicted by a jury of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit between 2015 and 2016. At Manchester Crown Court on Monday, Mr Justice Goss said there was “premeditation, calculation and cunning in your actions” as he handed down a whole-life order. Judith Woods reports on the moment Letby was sentenced.

The neonatal nurse’s parents, Susan, 63, and John, 77, attended Manchester Crown Court every day during her 10-month trial. However, they did not appear on Monday as relatives of Letby’s victims read out moving personal statements during her sentencing hearing. Her parents had been so determined to hear all the evidence against their daughter that they relocated to Manchester from their home in Hereford.

Have your say | ‘The death penalty is the ultimate act of justice and it should be applied to child killers’. Telegraph readers debate the death penalty in the wake of the Letby trial.
