Ukufana Kobubi: ULucy Letby, uBeverly Allitt, kanye Namandla Athusayo Okwengeziwe

Ezinsukwini ezisanda kwedlula, igama elithi Lucy Letby liye labusa ezihlokweni zemithombo yezindaba, lihlanganisa iqiniso elingaxakile: umhlengikazi osanda kuzalwa ugwetshwe odilikajele abangu-14 ngecala elibaliwe lokubulala izingane eziyisikhombisa, okuhambisana necala lokuzama ukubulala abanye abayisithupha. Nakuba izenzo zakhe ezinonya ziye zayala ukunakwa kwethu sonke, ukukhulunywa kwe Beverly Allitt kuvame ukuvusa impendulo engenantshisekelo - ucezu olukhohliwe lomlando. Lesi sihloko sicubungula ukufana okushaqisayo phakathi kwalezi zimo futhi siphakamisa umbuzo odidayo: Kungani umlando ubonakala uziphindaphinda?

Isingeniso

KwakungoLwesibili kusihlwa lapho ngeshwa ngizwa ngamacala kaLetby. Ukubuya ekuqeqesheni okuwukuphela kwento eyayisemqondweni wami kwakuwukuphumula. Nokho, ngemva kokubona ubaba egxile kakhulu kumabonakude kunokuvamile, nganquma ukuzibuza ukuthi yini Sky News kungaba ukubika ukuthi bekujabulisa kakhulu. Nakuba ngifisa ukungenjalo, ngoba imininingwane yobugebengu obenziwa uLeby yayithusa futhi idabukisa ngempela.

“Uke wezwa ngalokhu?” Kubuza ubaba ngihlala phansi. Kwakubonakala ukuthi useyazi ngoLetby futhi wayesanda kuthola ulwazi olusha. Njengoba imininingwane eyengeziwe yayidluliselwa ngaye, kwafika umcabango omubi emqondweni wami – “Akukaze kwenzeke lokhu ngaphambilini?” - Yebo, nganginjalo, futhi ngibhekise kumbulali olahlwe yicala uBeverly Allitt, owenza uchungechunge lwamacala afanayo ngo-1991.

Nokho, lapho ngidlulisela lo mbuzo kuBaba wami, ngahlangatshezwa inkulumo engenasithakazelo nedidekile. Wayengakaze ezwe ngo-Allitt, kanjalo nomama wami lapho ngimbuza. Futhi lokho kungase kube inkinga nje. Uma lolu hlobo lobugebengu obesabekayo seluvele lwenzeka esikhathini esedlule, kungani sebuphinde lwenzeka futhi? Nokho, ngosizo lophenyo oluqhubekayo, ulwazi oluqinisekisiwe oluvela emithonjeni yomphakathi, ama-akhawunti ofakazi, kanye nezitatimende ezivela Amaphoyisa aseCheshire County Ngizophikisa ngokuthi amacala kaLeby kwakungamelwe enzeka kwasekuqaleni. Futhi angesabi ukukhomba icala kobani engikholwa ukuthi unecala ngokwengxenye, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi “Uphenyo Oluzimele” lutholani.

Ubani uBeverly Allitt?

Kuhle ukuliqonda iphuzu lami nokwenza impikiswano yami icace, ake sibuyele emuva ku-1991 lapho kwakwenziwa omunye umbulali onjengoLebby. Njengoba nje ividiyo engezansi isho, bekungokokuqala ngqa e-UK. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-32, kwenzeka futhi. NjengoLetby, u-Allitt akazange abonise ukuzisola, imizwelo nanoma yiluphi uhlobo lokuzisola ngesenzo sakhe, njengoLetby.

Uma ufuna uhlu olugcwele lwalesi silwane esisabekayo sicela ubukele le vidiyo ye-Channel 5 echaza ngokucacile impilo nobugebengu buka-Allitt kudokhumentari ehlangene kodwa ebonisa ulwazi.

U-Allit wasebenzisa i-insulin ukuze ajove izingane ngesivinini esishaqisayo, okuzenza zibe luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka futhi zicishe zife ngenxa yokweqisa izidakamizwa. Lokhu kwenzeka ezinganeni ezihlukene ezingaphezu kwe-10 futhi-ke, ngaphambi kokuba kudlule isikhathi eside, abahlengikazi ababili abaphezulu bafuna usizo lwabaseshi emaphoyiseni aseLincolnshire County, bahlela umhlangano ngokushesha lapho ukukhathazeka kwavezwa khona.

Udaba lwalumayelana nosana olubizwa ngokuthi uPaul Crampton, osimo sakhe sasingenakuchazwa ngamaphutha omuntu noma izimbangela zemvelo. UDokotela okhethiwe uvumile ukuthi kuzomele kwenziwe olunye uphenyo naye.

Lokhu kwenzeka nangemva kokuba udokotela owayeyalelwe ukuba ahlole zonke izingane ezingu-12 ephethe ngokuthi izigameko ezingu-10 zazingabangelwa izenzo ezinonya kuyilapho ezimbili zidinga uphenyo olwengeziwe kodwa kusengenzeka ngenxa yezizathu ezingokwemvelo, kuyilapho amaCramptons ebonwa njengesolisa.

Ngesikhathi Amaphoyisa esesha emzini ka-Allitt athola incwajana eyayithathwe kwa-Allitt Usisi Ward Unesi (uHead Nurse) lapho ayegcina khona amarekhodi anekhodi ukuthi yiziphi izingane azilimazayo nokuthi wakwenza kanjani.

Kuphinde kwaba nesigameko lapho ngesikhathi esifushane ngemuva kokuboshwa kwakhe okokuqala nokuqulwa kwecala, wayehlala nomndeni obizwa ngokuthi umndeni wakwaJobson. Insizwa yakulo mndeni yenzelwe ingilazi yejusi ngu-Allitt yathi ifika lapho ebiya kuyo yagula yaquleka, yaphuthunyiswa esibhedlela ngokushesha. Wabe esetholakala equkethe isamba esikhulu insulin.

Amacala ka-Allit atholwe kusenesikhathi

Okuthusayo ngalamacala amabili ukuthi amacala ka-Allit ngo-1991 empeleni zatholwa ngokushesha kakhulu kunalezo zikaLetby. Akubathathanga sikhathi odokotela babona ukuthi kukhona okubi okwenzekayo yingakho bewabikele amaphoyisa kusenesikhathi. Ukubheka emuva isinqumo sabo cishe sasindisa ukuphila.

Isibhedlela sagxekwa ngesenzo sabo kodwa kwacaca ukuthi abasebenzi basesibhedlela akumele basolwe. Bathatha isinyathelo ngokushesha lapho bethola ukufa okusolisayo, futhi Amaphoyisa asheshe abona ukuthi ubani okungenzeka ukuthi wayenecala, ambopha ngokushesha noma kunobufakazi obuncane. ngezindinganiso ze-CPS.

Abaseshi basheshe baqala ukuthola ukuthi ubani obesemsebenzini babona ngokukhulu ukungabaza ukuthi u-Allit ubesemsebenzini wabo bonke.

Leli qiniso elihlasimulisa umzimba lacishe lawanele I-CPS i-threshold nangemva nje kokuboshwa kuka-Allit lapho kwavezwa ukuthi othile ababemazi kungenzeka ukuthi wayedliswe ushevu esebenzisa i-insulin. Ukufana kwakufana kakhulu futhi Konke Uboshelwe icala lokubulala nokuzama ukubulala kungekudala.

Ukubulala nokuhlasela kuphele nya esibhedlela kanti lokhu kwaphinde kwakhomba ukuthi ummangalelwa unecala. A Inkantolo yaseNottingham Crown Ijaji lamthola enecala futhi wathola odilikajele abangu-13 ngamacala amane okubulala kanye nelokuzama ukubulala abanye abathathu. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukulimala kanzima kwabanye abayisithupha.

As Konke yathathwa iNkantolo ngemoto yasejele ababukeli nabezindaba bamjikijela ngokumhlukumeza. Ngempela isenzo esishaqisayo esinjalo emalungwini omphakathi asengozini enkulu nangenakuzivikela kufanele sibe esingaxoleleki futhi singaphinde senzeke.

Uma kuphakama izikhalo ngomunye unesi owenza izinto ezifuze lezi ngabe abaphathi besibhedlela bakuthathele phezulu bakuthathele izinyathelo ngokushesha cha? – Ake sihlolisise udaba lukaLucy futhi sibone ukuthi ubani owayengamisa amanye amacala akhe enziwa izingane.

Amacala kaLetby

Njengamanje ngicabanga ukuthi uzobe usuvele unolwazi olunzulu ngobugebengu bakhe, ngakho-ke uma ufuna ukweqa; le ngxenye, sicela ukhululeke futhi uchofoze lapha: Yeqa isigaba.

Ukholwa ungakholwa, icala lokuqala elisolisayo lenzeka ngomhlaka-8 Juni 2015, iminyaka engu-8 ngaphambi kokuboshwa. Ingane yomfana ephile saka yayinakekelwa eNursery 1 ewodini. Umhlengikazi oqokiwe, u-Leby, ubemnakekela ngesikhathi sakhe sasebusuku. Ngeshwa, isimo somntwana saba sibi ngokushesha futhi washona phakathi nemizuzu engu-90 i-shift ka-Letby iqalile.

Ingane A yashona kabuhlungu, kwathi iwele layo, Ingane B, nayo yabhekana nenkinga yezempilo engazelelwe cishe emahoreni angama-28 kamuva. Ukuhlolwa kuveze ukuthi ingane B inamathumbu agcwele igesi, okukhombisa ukuthi kukhona umjovo womoya. Lezi zigameko zenzeke ngemuva kokuthi u-Letby, umnakekeli, esuthise Ingane B futhi ebona ukuqubuka esikhumbeni sengane, okufana nese-Child A.

Umbhalisi wezingane wamangala futhi wacasuka lapho ezwa ngokufa okuzumayo kwengane ngosuku olulandelayo. Zazingekho izimpawu zangaphambili zezinkinga, futhi ingane yayibonakala ilungile, njengoba kubikiwe umbhalisi. Umhlengikazi ubone uLeby emi eduze kwe-incubator yengane ngesikhathi isimo sengane siba sibi kodwa waqale wangangenelela.

Wathatha isinyathelo lapho kubonakala ukuthi ingane yayingathuthuki ngaphansi kokunakekelwa kukaLetby. Odokotela abebenakekela ingane babone amabala aluhlaza nokumhlophe okungajwayelekile esikhumbeni, okuwuphawu ababengakaze balubone, okwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwavela kwezinye izingane okukholakala ukuthi zijovwe ngomoya ngamabomu. Ngosuku olwalandela ukushona kwengane A, uLetby wafuna abazali bengane kuFacebook.

Iwele lengane A, Ingane B, laquleka cishe amahora angu-28 ngemva kokushona kwengane A futhi lalidinga ukuvuswa. Naphezu kokuchitha usuku nengane B, abazali babeqiniseka ukuthi bazophumula ngaphambi kokuwohloka kwakhe kungazelelwe. Ukuhlolwa kamuva kwembula izihibe zamathumbu ezigcwele igesi, okubonisa umjovo womoya. Ingane B iphinde yabonisa ukuqubuka kwesikhumba okungajwayelekile okufanayo okubonwe Enganeni A ngaphambi nje kokuba igoqe, okuphakamisa ukujova umoya.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, u-Child C, umfana ophile saka, wawa enkulisa ngemva nje kokuba omunye umhlengikazi ehambile. Naphezu kokunganikezwanga isabelo sokunakekela ingane, uLeby wabonwa emi phezu kwegada lakhe ngesikhathi kukhala i-alamu lapho omunye umhlengikazi ebuya. Umholi weshifu yakhe wayesevele emyalile ukuthi agxile esigulini sakhe ayesiqokile, kodwa kwadingeka akhishwe kaningi egunjini lomndeni njengoba kushone uMntwana C. Abazali kamuva bakhumbula umhlengikazi ababekholelwa ukuthi uLeby eletha ubhasikidi womshini wokungenisa umoya futhi wasikisela, “Usuvalelisile, ufuna ngimfake lapha?” nakuba ingane yabo yayisaphila.

Ngo-June 22, 2015, ingane yentombazane okuthiwa u-Child D yawa izikhathi ezintathu ekuseni futhi yashona. Ababezama ukusindisa ingane babona ukuguquguquka kwesikhumba okungajwayelekile. I-X-ray eyenziwa ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwesidumbu sembula ulayini 'ohlabayo' wegesi phambi komgogodla, okubonisa umjovo womoya egazini. Kamuva udokotela wafakaza ukuthi lokho okutholakele kwakungenakuchazwa ngezimbangela ezingokwemvelo. Umama wayebone uLeby “ezulazula” umkhaya ngaphambi nje kokuwa komntwana.

Ngomhla zi-2 kuJulayi, udokotela wazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuwa nokufa kwabantu, kodwa akukho sinyathelo esithathiwe ngoLeby. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi amacala asolisayo aphela inyanga. Nokho, ngo-August 4, 2015, umama wangena ezophakela ingane yakhe yomfana, Ingane E, kodwa wathola u-Letby ebonakala ezama ukulimaza ingane. Wathola ingane ikhathazekile futhi yopha emlonyeni, uLetby emi eduze ebonakala ematasatasa kodwa engenzi lutho. Ngokudabukisayo, lo mfana washona ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, okukholakala ukuthi imbangela yokufa kwakhe yayiwukopha kakhulu nokujovwa umoya. Kwatholakala inqwaba yegazi emhlanzweni wakhe.

Ngakusasa kusihlwa, iwele lika-Child E, uMntwana F, lalinakekelwa uLetby ekamelweni elilodwa. Ngo-1:54 am, Ingane F yehla ngokungalindelekile kushukela egazini kanye nokwanda kokushaya kwenhliziyo. Ngenhlanhla, le ngane yasinda, kodwa ukuhlolwa kwegazi kamuva kwembula inani “eliphezulu kakhulu” le-insulin yangaphandle, eyayingakaze ilidinge.

Ayikho ingane efakwe eyunithi enikezwe i-insulin, futhi yayigcinwe efrijini elikhiyiwe eduze kwesiteshi sabahlengikazi. Ngesikhathi sokuqulwa kwecala, u-Leby akazange akuphikise ukuthi ingane yayijovwe nge-insulin ngamabomu, ephakamisa ukuthi kwakunothile owayenesibopho. ULetby uphinde wathungatha abazali boMntwana u-E no-F ezinkundleni zokuxhumana emasontweni nasezinyangeni ezalandela.

Ukushushiswa nokugwetshwa kukaLetby

Ukuboshwa kanye namacala

NgoJulayi 3, 2018, uLetby waboshwa ngezinsolo zamacala ayisishiyagalombili okubulala nayisithupha okuzama ukubulala ngemuva kophenyo oluthathe unyaka wonke. Umuzi wakhe oseChester useshwe kulandela ukuboshwa. Kamuva, uphenyo lwandiswa lwafaka neSibhedlela Sabesifazane saseLiverpool, lapho u-Letby naye ayesebenze khona. Umsebenzi wakhe wonke, okuhlanganisa nesikhathi sakhe esesibhedlela iLiverpool Women's Hospital, ubulokhu ubhekiwe selokhu aboshwa.

ULeby utholwe ngebheyili ngoJulayi 6, 2018, ngesikhathi amaphoyisa eqhubeka nemibuzo. Ukubuyekezwa kobufakazi obuningi bamadokhumenti atholakala emzini wakhe, kuhlanganise nedayari enekhodi, kwathatha isikhathi. Uphinde waboshwa ngoJuni 10, 2019, mayelana namacala ayisishiyagalombili okubulala kanye nokuzama ukubulala ayisishiyagalolunye. Okunye ukuboshwa kwenzeka ngoNovemba 10, 2020. Ngo-2019, waphinde wakhishwa ngebheyili ukuze aqoqe ubufakazi obuqinile ngaphambi kokumfaka amacala.

Uphenyo lwaluhilela izinkulungwane zemibukiso, izinkulungwane zamakhasi ubude. Ukuboshwa kuka-2019 kudalwe ukutholakala kwamanye amacala okuzama ukubulala kanye nemibhalo yakhe eminingi ngesikhathi sophenyo.

NgoMashi 13, 2020, uLeby wamiswa okwesikhashana nguMkhandlu wabahlengikazi nababelethisi. Ngomhlaka-11 Novemba 2020, ubekwe amacala angu-10 okubulala nayishumi okuzama ukubulala, wanqatshelwa ibheyili, waqhubeka esitokisini samaphoyisa. I-Crown Prosecution Service igunyaze amacala kulandela ukubuyekezwa kobufakazi obuqoqwe yiCheshire Constabulary.

ULetby uwaphikile wonke amacala angu-22, wathi ukufa kwabo kungenxa yenhlanzeko yasesibhedlela namazinga abasebenzi.

Ngo-Agasti 18, 2023, u-Andrea Sutcliffe, Isikhulu Esiphezulu kanye Nobhalisi WoMkhandlu Wabahlengikazi Nezokubelethisa, wamemezela ukuthi u-Letby “usamisiwe ohlwini lwethu lokubhalisa, futhi manje sizoqhubeka nezinyathelo zokulawula ukumsusa ohlwini.

Trial

Icala lika-Letby laqala ngo-Okthoba 10, 2022, e-Manchester Crown Court, ewaphika amacala okubulala ayisikhombisa nangu-15 okuzama ukubulala. Icala belihanjelwe ngabazali bakaLetby kanye nemindeni yezisulu.

Izisulu zezingane zaziwa ngokuthi yi-Child A to Child Q, futhi imininingwane yazo, kanye neyabanye ozakwabo abayisishiyagalolunye abanikeza ubufakazi, yayigcinwa iyimfihlo kakhulu, izinga lemfihlo elingavamile ukubonakala ngaphandle kwezindaba zokuphepha zezwe. Eminyakeni emibili ngaphambi kwecala, UNksz Justice Steyn yayikwenqabele ukuhlonzwa kwezisulu eziphilayo kuze kube yilapho ziba neminyaka eyi-18, nakuba umsebenzi womzali oyedwa njengodokotela, ofanele ngenxa yobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha, wawungathathwa njengongahlonzwa esidlangalaleni. Ofakazi abaningana, okuhlanganisa nodokotela uLetby, wathatheka, bacela ukungadalulwa, isicelo esivunywe ijaji elabeka ubufakazi babo eqhulwini phezu kokukhathazeka ngokuhlonza umphakathi.

Umshushisi uchaze u-Letby ngokuthi “ungumuntu ononya njalo” ophikweni lwezingane ezisanda kuzalwa. OFakazi bangena phakathi noma ngemva nje kokuhlaselwa kukaLetby. Omunye umama waphazamisa uLetby esenzweni, ethi, “Trust me, ngingumhlengikazi.” Omunye umama ungene ekamelweni lengane yakhe ezwa ukukhala wafica ingane yakhe inegazi emlonyeni ngesikhathi uLebby ekhona. Yize ingane ihlukumezekile, uLetby ubonakale engenzi lutho okuholele ekutheni unina abuyele ewodini. Ngokudabukisayo, isimo sosana saba sibi kakhulu, kwaholela ekufeni kwayo. Akukho ukuhlolwa kwesidumbu okwenziwe. Ngemva kwalokho, uLetby wageza ingane eshonile phambi kwabazali.

Omunye umama, owashonelwa yingane yakhe ngo-Okthoba 2015, wabelana ngokuhlangenwe nakho okungathandeki kukaLetby egeza ingane yakhe. Ukulungisa kukaLetby kule ngane nomndeni wakhe kwaphikelela; wathumela ikhadi lokuzwelana naye ngosuku lomngcwabo wengane, kwatholakala ukuthi ikhadi walithwebula ocingweni lwakhe wagcina nezithombe zalo ngemuva kokuboshwa kwakhe.

Phakathi nophenyo, amaphoyisa athole ukuthi uLeby wayethumela imiyalezo ngemva kokushona ngakunye, okuhlanganisa neyodwa ebuza ukuthi ezinye izingane ezigulayo zisinde kanjani kuyilapho ezinye zishona ngokuzumayo. Ngo-April 9, 2016, ngemva kokuba amawele amabili U-Child L kanye no-M bewile ngesikhathi eshift, wathumela umyalezo ngokuwina imali kanye nephathi. Ngomhla zingama-22 kuNhlangulana wezi-2016, ngobusuku bangaphambi kokubuya kwakhe evela e-Ibiza, wathumela umlayezo wombhalo othi “uzobuyela emuva,” futhi ngesikhathi sakhe sokuqala sokubuya, u-Child O wabulawa. Le mibhalo ibonwe njengebalulekile, cishe njengezibuyekezo zomcimbi obukhoma.

ULetby uphinde watshela uzakwabo ukuthi ukuyisa ingane A emakhazeni “kwakuyinto enzima kunawo wonke ake ayenza.” Uthungathe abazali bezisulu zezingane kuFacebook, ngisho nangesikhumbuzo sokushona kwengane, imindeni engu-11 iyonke ethintekile. Lapho ebuzwa ngalokhu, akakwazanga ukuchaza ukuthi kungani.

Umshushisi usola ukuthi uLebby wafaka umoya egazini lezisulu ezimbili futhi wasebenzisa i-insulin ukuze abulale abanye. Phakathi nokuqulwa kwecala kwavezwa ukuthi uLeby kwadingeka atshelwe izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa ukuba angangeni ekamelweni elalinabazali abasosizini, futhi wathi, “Kuhlala kuyimi uma kwenzeka.

U-Letby's Defence uthe wayengumhlengikazi ozinikele ohlelweni olungaphumelelanga, ephakamisa ukuthi icala labashushisi lincike ekucabangeni kokulimala ngamabomu okuhlangene nokuhambisana okubandakanya ukuba khona kukaLetby. Baphikisana nembangela “yokopha okungavamile” kwesinye isisulu, futhi ozakwabo bakaLetby baphika ukusetshenziswa kwe-insulin yokwelapha, begcizelela ukuthi ayikho ingane ephikweni eyayinikezwe i-insulin, futhi yayigcinwe ngokuphepha.

NgoFebhuwari 2016, umeluleki wathola u-Letby egade ingane eyayibonakala ingasaphefumuli. Yize ingane iphelelwe amandla, uLeby uthe ukwehla kusanda kuqala. Ngokuyisimangaliso, lo mntwana wasinda. Bonke abeluleki bezingane abayisikhombisa ewodini lezingane ezisanda kuzalwa bavumile ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle, njengoba lokhu kufa kanye nokufa kwabantu abacishe bafa kungayinaki incazelo yezokwelapha.

Odokotela bake bazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngoLetby phambilini, kodwa abaphathi besibhedlela babachitha, bebeluleka ngokuthi bangabangi umsindo. U-Leeby wenze ukuphawula okungajwayelekile ihora ngaphambi kokufa kwesinye isisulu, ethi, “Akahambi lapha ephila, akunjalo?”

Phakathi kukaMashi noJuni 2016, ezinye izingane ezintathu zacishe zashona ngaphansi kokunakekelwa kukaLetby. Ngasekupheleni kukaJuni, uLeby wayenakekela amawele amathathu. Omunye washona, futhi ngokushaqisayo, omunye wabantwana abathathu bafa esikhathini esingaphansi kwamahora angu-24 kamuva, bobabili benempilo enhle. ULetby, ephatheke kabi, wavele wathi uzobuya emsebenzini ngakusasa.

Lesi bekungesona isenzakalo sokuqala sokuthi amawele/amawele amathathu awe phakathi kwamahora angu-24 ngaphansi kokunakekelwa kuka-Letby, njengoba kwenzeka ngo-August 2015. Ngemva kokushona kwewele elilodwa ngaleyo nyanga, elinye lagula kakhulu. Uphenyo lwakamuva lwaveza ubuthi be-insulin ngamabomu, beqiwe iminyaka emibili. U-Letby, okwakungafanele asebenze amashifu ebusuku, wavolontiya ukuze athole elinye ithuba lokunakekela i-Child L. Wavuma ekuqulweni kwecala ukuthi ezinye izisulu zazijovwe nge-insulin ngamabomu.

Ngobusuku obungemva kokuzama ukulimaza uMntwana F, u-Leby waya kudansa i-salsa.

Izicelo zomeluleki

Ngemuva kwesigameko sika-triple, ochwepheshe bacela ukukhishwa kuka-Letby emsebenzini, kodwa abasebenzi basesibhedlela benqaba, futhi enye ingane yacishe yashona ngaphansi kokunakekela kwakhe ngakusasa. Ochwepheshe bezokwelapha baqinisekisa ukulimala ngamabomu kuzo zonke izimo. ULeeby uyena kuphela umsebenzi owayesebenza kuzo zonke izigameko ezisolisayo ezingama-25. Izigameko zaphela ngesikhathi ekhishwa emsebenzini. Wayenerekhodi elingelona iqiniso lesiguli, eshintsha izikhathi zokuwa ukuze agweme izinsolo.

Ngosuku lwesine lokuqulwa kwecala, kwethulwa incwadi ebhalwe ngesandla evela kuLeby, evuma, “Ngimubi, ngenze lokhu.” Ummangalelwa uveze ukuthi kube wukuphuma komunyu ngenxa yezinkinga zokuqashwa. Amanothi engeziwe aveze ukukhungatheka kwakhe ngokungavunyelwa ukuthi abuyele emsebenzini ophikweni lwezingane ezisanda kuzalwa. U-Letby wayegcine ngasese izincwadi zezokwelapha ekhaya, kuhlanganise namashidi ayimfihlo angu-257, ukufundwa kwegesi egazini, nokunye, okubonakala 'njengerekhodi elibi.' Incwadi yakhe yezenzakalo zansuku zonke yayinamanothi anemisho enjengokuthi “Ngiyaxolisa ngokuthi awukwazanga ukuba nethuba lokuphila,” umshushisi ayeyibheka njengokuvuma izono.

U-Letby wethula ubufakazi ngoMeyi 2023, wadalula futhi ethi wayengaqondile ukulimaza kodwa wenziwa wazizwa engafaneleki. Uveze ukuthi lezi zinsolo zibe nomthelela omubi kanjani empilweni yakhe yengqondo, nokuholele ekutheni ahlukaniswe nabangane bakhe kulolu phiko. Nokho, kwaphawulwa ukuwohloka kwakhe ngokomzwelo lapho exoxa ngokwakhe, hhayi isiphetho sezingane. Waziphikisa kaningi ngesikhathi ebuzwa.

Ngemuva kokuqulwa kwecala lezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye, amajaji aqala izingxoxo ngomhlaka-10 Julayi 2023. Izinqumo zakhishwa phakathi kuka-8 Agasti no-18 Agasti, u-Letby watholakala enamacala ayisikhombisa okubulala izingane ngezindlela ezinjengokujova umoya, ukudla ngokweqile, ukujova i-insulin, kanye nethuluzi lezokwelapha. ukuhlasela. Ungumbulali wezingane olandelanayo owaziwa kakhulu emlandweni wakamuva wase-UK.

ULeby uphinde watholwa enamacala ayisikhombisa okuzama ukubulala kodwa engenacala emacaleni amabili. Ijaji alikwazanga ukufinyelela ezinqumeni kwamanye amacala ayisithupha okuzama ukubulala, okushiye ithuba lokuqulwa kwecala kabusha. Ngomhla zingama-21 kuNcwaba 2023, wathola isigwebo sikadilikajele esine-life order, esinzima kunazo zonke ngaphansi komthetho wamaNgisi, okumenza owesifazane wesine emlandweni wase-UK ukuthola lesi sigwebo. Ijaji lichaze izenzo zakhe njengomkhankaso ononya, ocatshangelwe kahle, futhi ongenangqondo obhekiswe ezinganeni ezisengozini.

U-Leby wakhetha ukungayi esigwebeni, nokwenze kube nezingxoxo mayelana nokushintshwa komthetho ukuze kuphoqe abamangalelwa ukuthi bathamele ukugwetshwa kwabo. Abazali bakhe ababekhona ngesikhathi kuqhubeka icala nabo abazange balubhade lapho kugwetshwa khona.
