Lucy Letby ‘acts like Queen Bee in jail' and ‘gets hair & nails done in salon with killer pal Sara Sharif's step-mum'

The Sun5 days ago
BABY killer nurse Lucy Letby acts like the "Queen Bee" in prison due to the level of privileges she's afforded - angering other prisoners, it is claimed.
The 35-year-old is serving 15 life sentences after being convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven more at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Letby is reported to have struck up a bizarre friendship with Beinash Batool, who murdered her 10-year-old stepdaughter Sara Sharif.
The ex-neo natal nurse is said to be chaperoned by prison guards wherever she goes, and special areas have to be cleared whenever she wants to visit - due to the high risk of her being attacked by fellow lags.
The Sun reported last week how the evil pair play card game Uno for hours in their cushy jail unit after being given 'enhanced' privileges at HMP Bronzefield, Surrey.
They also have "a lot of freedom" and can buy foods that others can't - often in the kitchen making cheese toasties together.
Letby allegedly moans she's the "fattest I've ever been" due to her diet of junk food, including chocolate.
Sources have since told The Mirror other female murderers in Houseblock Four are fed up with Letby and Batool - who is serving 33 years - getting special treatment.
They say the government's Incentives and Earned Privileges Scheme, which is designed to encourage good behaviour among prisoners, is being used by Letby who manipulates prison officers to get what she wants.
The source said: "She turns on the tears at the drop of a hat, she gets all her visits in the family room which is really lovely even though she doesn't have children, it's meant to be for children and they've made it really nice. Her parents come to see her," our source said.
"She walks around like she's Queen Bee, she stops other enhanced prisoners going to the library because she says 'I'm scared, I'm scared, I don't know what they'll do to me' but what about other people who are enhanced and want to use that library, they can't.
"When she and Beinash go to the salon, the whole salon has to be shut down, because they are scared that other prisoners will attack them and obviously there are scissors and stuff there."
The source said the pair go to the salon "at least once a month" and Letby is "always getting" her hair and nails done, adding the wing is "like an upside down world".

Letby and Batool, 31, have also reportedly been awarded "positive behaviour comments" by prison officers as part of the IEP scheme.
This means they get extra perks like visiting the prison staff restaurant, called Vita Nova, which has two qualified chefs, and inmates can be trained barista and knife skills, it's claimed.
And when Letby attends the likes of the salon or Vita Nova, it is closed to others to protect her, but she chooses to take Batool as her plus one guest, according to reports.
One prisoner told The Mirror, there is "so much hatred for her" because she's "treated like she's Queen Bee".
As reported by The Sun previously, the killer nurse works three different prison jobs and blows her wages on sweets and crisps.
Letby has jobs as a laundry worker, earning £8 a week, a kitchen worker - another £8 a week - and a library worker.
Lag sources say she's put on so much weight "you wouldn't recognise her".
Unit 4 of 527-inmate Bronzefield, which is run by private firm Sodexo.
Letby and Batool both have TVs with Freeview channels and a DVD player, along with books and films, which they can order from the library.
Others on the unit include Sian Hedges, jailed for life in 2024 for killing 18-month-old son Alfie Phillips.
Shamed prison officer Linda de Sousa Abreu, who romped with a lag, was also held there until her release last month.
Letby — convicted of the murders of seven babies and attempted murders of seven more while a neonatal nurse — has regular legal meetings as she plans her appeal.
Batool was sentenced last December for the murder of her tortured stepdaughter.
Sara's dad, Urfan Sharif, is serving at least 40 years for murder after she was beaten to death at the couple's home in Woking, Surrey.

Man, 76, charged with child cruelty offences over summer camp

A 76-year-old man has been charged with child cruelty offences after children became unwell at a summer camp in Leicestershire. Leicestershire Police said it received a report on Sunday that children at a summer camp at Stathern Lodge in Canal Lane, Stathern, had become unwell. Eight children, all boys aged between eight and 11, and an adult, who were taken to hospital as a precaution, have all since been discharged. Jonathon Ruben, of Landmere Lane, Ruddington, Nottingham, will be charged with three counts of wilful ill treatment relating to three boys at the summer camp between July 25 and July 29, the Crown Prosecution Service said on Friday. He was remanded into custody and will appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Saturday. Leicestershire Police has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over its handling of the incident. The force originally said the incident happened on Monday, before amending it to Sunday, and it is still unclear whether officers only responded on Monday, and whether that is why the force has referred itself to the IOPC. Janine McKinney, chief crown prosecutor for CPS East Midlands, said: 'The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised the prosecution of a 76-year-old man with child cruelty offences following a police investigation into a summer camp held at Stathern Lodge, Leicestershire. 'This decision has been made after reviewing a file of evidence from Leicestershire Police. 'Jonathon Ruben will be charged with three offences of wilful ill treatment of a child relating to three boys. 'This has been an extremely upsetting and shocking moment for the community, and especially for the children and parents most directly affected. 'We would like to remind all concerned that there are now active criminal proceedings against Mr Ruben, and he has the right to a fair trial. 'There must be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online that may in any way prejudice these proceedings.' Leicestershire Police said the 'owners and operators of Stathern Lodge are independent from those people who use or hire the lodge and are not connected to the incident'. The IOPC said: 'Our assessment team has examined all available evidence and concluded the matter should be independently investigated by the IOPC. 'The investigation will look at whether there were any breaches of professional behaviour – namely a failure to carry out duties and responsibilities – that resulted in a delay in Leicestershire Police's response to what was later declared a critical incident.'

Police impose conditions on asylum hotel protest in London

Police have imposed conditions on a protest against the use of a hotel to accommodate asylum seekers. The Metropolitan Police said there would be an 'increased police presence' for a protest and counter protest outside the Thistle City Barbican Hotel in Islington, north London, on Saturday. Advertisement A protest and counter protest will take place in Newcastle outside The New Bridge Hotel on Saturday. The Metropolitan Police said the protest against the use of the Islington hotel was organised by local residents under the banner 'Thistle Barbican needs to go – locals say no'. A counter protest, organised by Stand Up To Racism and supported by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, as well as other groups including Finsbury Park Mosque and Islington Labour Party, will also take place. Police said the anti-asylum hotel protest had been 'endorsed by groups from outside the local community which is likely to increase the number of people attending'. Advertisement Online groups that have voiced support for the protest include 'Patriots of Britain' and 'Together for the Children'. The Metropolitan Police said plans were in place to 'respond to any protest activity in the vicinity of other hotels in London being used to accommodate asylum seekers'. Conditions on the anti-asylum hotel protest include that anyone participating must remain within King Charles Square and that the assembly must not begin before 1pm and must conclude by 4pm. Police said conditions on the counter protest include that participants must remain in Lever Street, near the junction with Central Street, and that the assembly must not begin before 12pm and must conclude by 4pm. Advertisement Chief Superintendent Clair Haynes, in charge of the policing operation, said: 'We have been in discussions with the organisers of both protests in recent days, building on the ongoing engagement between local officers, community groups and partners. 'We understand that there are strongly held views on all sides. 'Our officers will police without fear or favour, ensuring those exercising their right to protest can do so safely but intervening at the first sign of actions that cross the line into criminality. 'We have used our powers under the Public Order Act to put conditions in place to prevent serious disorder and to minimise serious disruption to the lives of people and businesses in the local community. Advertisement 'Those conditions identify two distinct protest areas where the protests must take place, meaning the groups will be separated but still within sight and sound of each other.' There are also posts online advertising a 'for our children, for our future' protest in Newcastle on Saturday outside The New Bridge Hotel. A 'stop the far right and fascists in Newcastle' counter protest has been organised by Stand Up To Racism at the nearby Laing Art Gallery. In a statement, the organisers of the counter protest said: 'Yet again far-right and fascist thugs are intent on bringing their message of hate to Newcastle. They aim to build on years of Islamophobia, anti-migrant sentiment and scapegoating. Advertisement 'In Epping and elsewhere recently we have already seen intimidation and violence aimed at refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. 'Newcastle, like the rest of the North East, has a well-earned reputation for unity in the face of those who seek to divide us. Whatever problems we face, racism and division are not the answer.' Northumbria Police have been approached for comment.

Home Office pauses asylum hotel plans in Spelthorne

Government plans to exclusively house male asylum seekers at a hotel have been paused. It comes as Surrey Police put a dispersal order in place in Stanwell, which allows officers to remove individuals who are causing or likely to cause disorder or crime. The force said it took the step following reports of criminal damage and anti-social behaviour after 100 people protested outside The Stanwell Hotel on Thursday. Spelthorne Borough Council (SBC) says families, including vulnerable women and children, seeking asylum are currently staying at the hotel. 'Integrating well' SBC leader Joanne Sexton had warned that a Home Office proposal to house men at the hotel was causing concern in the local community. She added it would also mean that the families - who she said were "integrating well and building community ties" - would be relocated. Ms Sexton welcomed the "temporary pause" by the government, which met with SBC on Friday. But she said she was "still concerned about the potential consequences of the proposed changes and the impact they will have". The Home Office has said it is fixing a "broken system" and that the security of local communities around hotels was always a "paramount concern". "From over 400 asylum hotels open in summer 2023, costing almost £9m a day, there are now less than 210," it added."We want them all closed by the end of this Parliament."Asylum seekers in hotels fell by almost 6,000 in the first three months of 2025 - down 15% from December, according to the Home Office. More talks planned The Surrey Police dispersal order, in place until 21:29 BST on Saturday, covers Town Lane, Trinity Close, St. Mary's Crescent, Village Park and Lauser Park."We respect the right to peaceful protest and will facilitate this wherever possible where it is safe to do so," said Surrey Police. "However, criminal offences and public disorder will not be tolerated."We will take robust action against anyone who commits a criminal offence," the force added. An SBC meeting is due to take place on 7 August to discuss the matter further.
