Lucy Letby supporters throw sick birthday party for baby killer with giant cake at pub

People who still back convicted murderer Lucy Letby have come together to throw a birthday party for the killer nurse, complete with a giant 'Lucy' cake. Letby spent her 35th birthday locked up having been found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more on the neonatal unit where she worked. But defenders gathered at The Windmill pub on Clapham Common on January 4 to raise a glass of prosecco for her under homemade banners.
Around six people who are understood to have met through the Facebook group ' Lucy Letby Discussions' came together for the celebration, according to a source. The group is a place where people discuss their beliefs that Letby is innocent and a victim herself, and advocate for her to be freed.
Pictures shared on the closed Facebook page of the event show four attendees holding up a homemade banner reading 'happy birthday Lucy' and 'a blatant miscarriage of justice'. They sipped prosecco and made the booking under the name 'Lucy' which could be seen on a reserved card on the table.
A friend of a parent whose premature baby daughter was killed by Letby who saw the posts said: "There are families who will never get to celebrate their children's birthdays. What's next, do we have celebrations for Myra Hindley and Ian Brady?". One of the attendees, who goes by the pseudonym LuluTee, 45, is a carer from south London, and denied it was a birthday party. She said: "It was just a meetup of people from the groups. We wanted to get together to toast her birthday and speak about the case. The organiser sorted a cake and a few banners to outline that it was a miscarriage of justice.
