Police found a series of sickening notes inside the house of child killer Lucy Letby, which were later used as evidence against her in court.

Letby, 33, was found guilty of killing seven babies and attempting to murder six others while working at Chester Hospital, and has since received 14 life sentences meaning she will die behind bars.

Baby murderer Letby was apprehended on July 3, 2018, two years after her slate of horror crimes took place, and investigating officers found a collection of chilling notes in her home.

Those scribblings from the child killer, which were written on a green post-it by Letby, showed a series of sinister admissions, LiverpoolEcho reported.

One such note read: "I don't deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them," while another read: "I am a horrible evil person."

Police found a third note written in capital letters which read: "I am evil I did this."

Along with the collection of notes found at Letby's home were prescriptions and medications under her bed, including drugs which brought a baby boy back from the brink of death.

The record of emergency drugs was written on a paper towel during a 30-minute resuscitation attempt at the neonatal unit in the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Letby, who administered rescue breaths to the youngster, named as Child M in court, denied keeping the paper towel and medication evidence as a souvenir of her attack.

Both the paper towel and a blood gas reading were found dumped in a Morrisons bag in the sick killers bedroom following further police investigation.

Other articles found by police included words of adoration for a fellow doctor colleague, who cannot be named for legal reasons, Daily Mail reported.

Letby wrote "I loved you" next to his name and "my best friend", while another diary was found which referenced "twins" on April 8, the date of two twin boys Letby was found guilty of attempting to murder.

In total, 21 sheets of paper included baby names which Letby is said to have harmed, although she denies having purposefully collected the papers.

Giving evidence, she said: "They have no meaning to me at all. I have copious pieces of paper and cards that I have not thrown away my whole life."

Other pieces of paper and notes were found in "pristine condition", including one dated to June 1, 2010, her first day of work as a student on the neonatal unit.

She also kept a photograph of a card she sent to the bereaved family of Child I, which she says she kept as a way to "remember the kind words that I hoped I'd shared with that family."

Letby will spend the rest of her life in jail for her "cruel, calculated and cynical campaign" or murder and attempted murder against babies at the hospital where she worked.

Addressing the nurse in sentencing at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, August 21, the judge said Letby had acted against "normal human instincts".

He said: "You acted in a way that was completely contrary to the normal human instincts of nurturing and caring for babies and in gross breach of the trust that all citizens place in those who work in the medical and caring professions.

"The babies you harmed were born prematurely and some were at risk of not surviving, but in each case you deliberately harmed them, intending to kill them."
