Nurse Lucy Letby, who murdered babies, rewarded with cell key for good behavior.

Lucy Letby, a former nurse who was convicted of murdering seven newborns and attempting to kill six others, has been given a key to her prison cell, according to an insider. This key allows her to have privacy and lock herself away from fellow inmates at HMP Bronzefield, where she is currently held. However, this has caused significant upset for the grieving parents of Letby's victims, who believed that she would never have the chance to hold a key again.

According to the insider, Letby's new life inside the prison has been described as similar to a hotel, except that she is surrounded by criminals. In this arrangement, she can socialize with other inmates if she chooses to, but also have her own privacy when needed. Letby was moved to HMP Bronzefield from Low Newton jail in County Durham and was convicted of attacking the babies at Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit in 2015 and 2016.

In September last year, it was announced that Letby will face a retrial for one count of attempted murder of a newborn baby girl. She also launched an appeal against all of her convictions that month. The prosecution decided to pursue a retrial in this case, but not for the other five charges of attempted murder. Letby was sentenced to a whole life order, but refused to come up from the cells during her sentencing.

The parents of the child in the case for which Letby will face a retrial were present in court to hear the announcement. Letby, on the other hand, attended the hour-long hearing via video link while her parents were absent. This decision by the prosecution has caused great distress for the grieving parents of Letby's other victims.

Labour City of Chester MP Samantha Dixon criticized the prison officials for giving Letby a key to her cell, stating that it did not feel right or fair. However, a spokesperson for HMP Bronzefield explained that prisoners in some units are given a privacy key to secure their personal belongings. Despite this explanation, the decision to give Letby a key has caused significant upset and controversy.
