The downside of Liverpool Women’s Hospital being the busiest maternity hospital in the country meant it was likely Letby would have spent an element of time there. Hopefully her short stints in a new environment prevented her from anything monstrous.
Good god, a walk of remembrance!! What next, they'll have us crawling on our knees and whipping the flesh from our backs in penitence. Maybe we should start apologising to the Normans for resisting Williams forces at Hastings.

Judith Moritz ( BBC N.W Tonight) has offered more insight than most when it comes to Letby's motive ( I agree about the lazy 'evil' tropes).
Sounds like a case of Munchausen's by Proxy - which had its roots in near death experiences around her own birth - and the impact that had on her childhood, and on her family. Obviously not everyone who suffered at/after birth goes on to kill, though...so there is inevitably a unique mixture of factors in this case.
