Prosecutor Nick Johnson stated;

“I have already told you that the police found a large quantity of hospital paperwork relating to many of the children whose deaths and collapses you are now considering.

“They also found some other interesting items.

“There were some Post-it notes with closely-written words, some of which included the names of some of her colleagues.

“On some of the notes were phrases like as “Why/how has this happened”.

Johnson showed the jury a yellow post-it note that had ‘I am evil. I did this’ written in capital letters on it.

Letby has denied all charges. She allegedly committed the murders at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.

The trial continues.
