Susan and Jonathan Letby refused to accept their daughter's evil crimes and even moved from their home in Hereford to Manchester to attend every day of the trial.
Lucy Letby's doting parents 'hated' one decision she made years before her evil murders, it has been revealed.
Her parents refused to accept their only child's crimes. They attendee every day of the nine-month trial in support of her and even moved from their Hereford home to a rented flat in Manchester so as to be near the court. Her first part-time job was as a teenager at WH Smith before she became the first member of the family to graduate - with a BSc in Child Nursing from the University of Chester in 2011. The couple were so delighted that they took out an advertisement in the local paper.They did the same again when she turned 21, accompanying the birthday notice with a photograph of their daughter as a sweet-looking child.
The trio's close bond can be gleaned from Letby's correspondence with friends. She told them her parents found it "hard" being away from her and "worry massively". Messaging a friend who had mentioned emigrating to New Zealand, Letby said: “I couldn’t leave my parents. They would be completely devastated. Find it hard enough being away from me now and it's only 100 miles.
