KILLER nurse Lucy Letby earned the nickname “Duracell” from colleagues – because she was always working.
A former colleague said Letby “just always seemed to be on the ward” during the time she worked alongside the serial killer at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016.
The nurse who was employed by the NHS Trust as an agency worker told The Sun: “I had several shifts at the back end of 2015 and early 2016, and I think Lucy was working on all but one or two of them.
“Lucy just always seemed to be working. I remember mentioning it one day, and a couple of people joked ‘yeah Lucy’s like the Duracell bunny’.
“Apparently she was saving hard to buy things she wanted for her house, so was always offering to do overtime.
“At the time I just thought she was a dedicated nurse, who loved her job.
“But now, well it’s just horrifying to think she was probably working all those extra hours to give her the opportunity to be on the ward and to be able to kill more babies.”
The nurse, who has since left the health service, said she never saw anything which raised suspicions about Letby’s behaviour and described Letby’s personality as “bland” and “forgettable”.
