NURSE Lucy Letby wrote a chilling sympathy card to the grieving parents of a baby girl she allegedly murdered, her trial heard.
The defendant took a photograph on her mobile phone of the card ahead of the youngster's funeral.
Letby, 33, is accused of killing the premature-born infant, known as Child I, in the early hours of October 23 2015, which the Crown say was the fourth attempt to take her life.
On Thursday, Manchester Crown Court was told Letby captured a photograph of the card on the morning of November 10 after she finished a night shift – hours before Child I's funeral.
