Mother reveals how serial killer Lucy Letby wrote her child a message which ‘makes you feel ill’ inside christening book – as she calls for the death of her baby to be reinvestigated

Serial killer Lucy Letby wrote a ‘freaky’ message that ‘makes you feel sick’ in a newborn’s baptism book, a mother has revealed who has called for her baby’s death to be re-examined.

Alvin, the one-month-old son of Emily Morris, was treated in the ward where Letby worked at the Countess of Chester in 2013.

She said that Letby told her that Alvin’s condition worsened the night before he died and that it almost seemed like “she was hinting that she had done something.”

Ms Morris, 35, from Deeside, Flintshire, said Letby had written a message in her child’s baptismal record that read: ‘To Alvin, with love on your special day.’

‘It is scary. It makes you sick looking at it,” she told the Daily Mail. Ms Morris and Alvin’s stepfather Mark Lewis also recently found a photo of Letby fussing over the baby at the hospital’s christening.

The grieving mother said the nurse tried to touch and lean over him all the time during the intimate ceremony.

Ms Morris said the photo left her with a ‘nauseous feeling’ and she has now called for her baby’s death to be re-investigated after police concluded in 2018 that there were no suspicious circumstances.

Both Ms. Morris and Mr. Lewis saw the photo for the first time this week after it was found on a disk in a memory box they were previously unable to download.

“It shocked us. It’s really hard to see someone who’s done that with the babies next to you. It makes you sick,’ Mrs. Morris said.

You can see her grabbing his blanket. I’ve told everyone she did and now there’s proof. That’s proof she was with him.’

Mrs. Morris said Letby had written a message in her child’s baptismal record that read, “To Alvin, with love on your special day.” She told the Daily Mail: “It’s weird. It makes you sick looking at it.’

Mrs. Morris first noticed Letby’s strange behavior around Alvin, who had been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, at the christening that took place at the hospital.

She said the nurse tried to touch and lean over him all the time during the intimate ceremony.

Lucy Letby told us that Alvin deteriorated the night before he died. In the morning he was dead, which is weird. It was like she was hinting that she had done something,” she recalled.

“She had it the night before… We say it’s suspicious, she must have done something.”

It comes as a chilling photo has surfaced of the cutthroat nurse comforting a newborn as she poses as a poster girl for the Countess of Chester Hospital.

The convicted murderer, smiling broadly in her blue nurse’s uniform, leans over the baby in a hospital cot with her hand on the stomach.

Letby’s image was featured on a full page in the 2012-2013 annual report of the Trust in Cheshire.

Ironically, the report boasts that the Trust is one of the few in the country to have achieved the highest level of ‘safe care’.

This wasn’t the only time the killer was used as a poster girl for the NHS: in 2013 she appeared on material promoting the hospital’s Babygrow appeal to raise money for a new neonatal unit.

In a staff profile piece promoting the department, Letby said: ‘My role includes caring for a wide range of babies who need different levels of support. Some are here for a few days, others for many months and I enjoy watching them progress and support their families.”

Letby, 33, was sentenced last month to life in prison for murdering seven babies between 2015 and 2016 and attempting to kill six others.

The nurse denied all 22 charges she faced during the ten-month trial at Manchester Crown Court.

Cheshire Police are now investigating whether Letby was already harming babies at the time the photo was taken.

Chief Inspector Paul Hughes of Cheshire Police said it was ‘committed to a full and thorough investigation of Lucy Letby’s full period as a nurse’.

“This investigation continues, through a transparent and open-minded process,” he said.

“The families of all babies participating in this study have been informed and supported. We will of course provide a more detailed update as soon as we can.”

The Department of Health and Social Care has commissioned an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the deaths and how Letby was able to carry out her killing spree.
