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 ‘weird’ message that ‘makes you feel bad’ in a newborn’s christening book, a mum who asked for her baby’s death to be subject to of a new investigation.

Emily Morris’ one-month-old son Alvin was being cared for in the unit where Letby worked at the Countess of Chester in 2013.

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

Ms Morris, 35, from Deeside, Flintshire, said Letby wrote a message in her child’s christening book which read: “To Alvin, with love on your special day.”

‘It’s weird. It gives you a feeling of unease looking at him,” she told the Daily Mail. Mark Lewis, Ms Morris and Alvin’s stepfather, also recently found a picture of Letby tending to the baby during the baptism which took place in the hospital.

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

Ms Morris said the photo left her ‘sickened’ and she has now asked for her baby’s death to be reinvestigated after police concluded in 2018 there was no suspicious circumstance.

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

“It shocked us. It’s really hard to see a person who did this to these babies next to you. It makes you sick,” Ms Morris said.

“You can see her grabbing her blanket. I told everyone she did it and now I have proof. It’s proof that she was with him.

Ms Morris said Letby wrote a message in her child’s christening book which read: “To Alvin, with love on your special day.” She told the Daily Mail: “It’s weird. It gives you a feeling of unease looking at it.

Ms Morris first noticed Letby’s odd behavior with Alvin, who had been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, at the christening which took place at the hospital.

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

“Lucy Letby told us that Alvin was deteriorating the night before he died. By morning he was dead, which is weird. It’s like she was implying that she had done something,” she remembers.

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

It comes as a chilling photograph has emerged of the killer nurse comforting a newborn baby as she poses as a poster for the Countess of Chester’s hospital.

Smiling broadly in her blue nurse’s uniform, the convicted murderer bends over the baby in a hospital bed, her hand resting on her stomach.

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

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

It’s not the only time the killer has been used as the face of the NHS: in 2013, she appeared on material promoting the hospital’s Babygrow appeal to raise funds for a new neonatal unit .

In an article promoting the department, Letby said, “My role is to look after a wide range of babies who need different levels of support. Some are here for a few days, others for several months and I like to see them progress and support their families.

Letby, 33, was sentenced last month to spend the rest of her life in prison for killing seven babies and attempting to murder six others between 2015 and 2016.

The nurse denied all 22 charges brought against her during the ten-month trial at Manchester Crown Court.

Cheshire Police are currently investigating whether Letby was already harming infants at the time the image was taken.

Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes of Cheshire Police said he was “committed to a full and thorough investigation of the entire period that Lucy Letby was employed as a nurse”.

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

“The families of all the babies taking part in this survey have been informed and supported. We will of course provide a more detailed update when we can.

The Department of Health and Social Care has ordered an independent investigation into the circumstances of these deaths and how Letby was able to carry out his killings.
