Neonatal nurse Lucy Letby, 33, was found guilty of seven counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder between June 2015 and June 2016, according to The Guardian.
Letby was found guilty of killing preterm newborns at the Countess of Chester hospital in northwest England, where she worked.
The nurse, who was in her mid-20s when she carried out the attacks, is expected to become only the third woman alive in the UK to be handed a whole-life term.
Letby sobbed during several of the convictions, and when the jury delivered its conclusions, the families of her victims consoled and comforted one another.
A team of 70 detectives has been working on the investigation into Letby’s case, called Operation Hummingbird, according to The Guardian.
The investigation was launched in May 2017 and is expected to continue for years and may result in further trials.
