Why did Lucy Letby become a serial killer? What was her motivation for killing babies? Could she have been stopped?

In this episode, renowned Criminal Psychologist Dr David Holmes sheds light on the case and shares his expertise on what her condition could be and why she committed these horrific crimes.

Join us as we discuss the psychology of Letby and other serial killers, the condition known as 'munchausen by proxy' and why her parents are still standing by her side.

Dr David Holmes' book 'Abnormal Clinical & Forensic Psychology' is available now and his YouTube channel with his other work (and music!) is at @drdavidholmes.
