Lucy Letby's supporters recently came together to celebrate her 35th birthday. Instead of a traditional party, they opted for a more low-key gathering at a pub in Clapham Common. The group, who firmly believe in Lucy's innocence, brought along glasses of prosecco, homemade banners, and a peach-colored cake with "Lucy" written on it in icing.
It was a small group of six people, all of whom met through a Facebook group called "Lucy Letby Discussions". They were determined to show their support for Lucy, who had spent her birthday behind bars as she serves a life sentence for the murder of seven babies and attempted murder of seven others while working as a nurse in a neonatal unit.
The Facebook group serves as a platform for people to discuss their belief in Lucy's innocence and advocate for her release. Some even see her as a victim herself, caught up in a miscarriage of justice. Photos from the gathering posted on the group page show the attendees proudly holding up a homemade banner that reads "Happy Birthday Lucy" alongside a message calling the verdict a miscarriage of justice.
The group went to great lengths to make the gathering feel like a birthday party for Lucy. They even made the booking under her name, "Lucy", and planned to record a message for her, expressing their thoughts and well-wishes on her special day. For them, it was a way to show Lucy that she is not alone and that they are thinking of her, even though she is unable to celebrate her birthday as she should be.
When asked about the gathering, one attendee, Lulu Tee, clarified that it wasn't a birthday party, but rather a meetup for members of the Facebook group. They wanted to take the opportunity to discuss Lucy's case and show their support for her. Lulu, who is 45 and works as a carer in south London, also shared her personal involvement in the case. As a mother of twins who were born prematurely, she felt emotionally invested and initially believed the accusations against Lucy. However, after following the trial closely and considering the arguments from both sides, she came to her own conclusion that Lucy was innocent.
The attendees also faced criticism from those who saw the photos of the gathering on the Facebook page. One person, whose friend lost their premature baby due to Lucy's actions, questioned whether celebrating her birthday was appropriate. They even drew a comparison between Lucy and infamous murderers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. However, the group stands firm in their belief in Lucy's innocence and sees her as a scapegoat in a larger conspiracy within the neonatal unit.
Despite the controversy, the group remains dedicated to their cause and continues to advocate for Lucy's freedom. They hope to shed light on the alleged miscarriage of justice and bring attention to the flawed system that led to Lucy's imprisonment. As one of the attendees put it, they simply want to show Lucy that she is not forgotten and that they are fighting for her.
