Posts on social media have shared claims masquerading as news articles that the baby-killing nurse was attacked during her first days at HMP Low Newton.
A number of unconfirmed reports have circulated about Lucy Letby's first few days at HMP Low Newton. Some of these have claimed that she was subject to a brutal attack at the hands of another prisoner.
According to the Mirror, these posts have been shared thousands of times despite being flagged as "false information". One of those sharing the rumours has even claimed to have "officially validated" that the 33-year-old murderer "now suffers from partial loss of vision in her left eye" and has a "non-life-threatening cut on her neck" following the alleged attack.
The fact checkers also say that the claims that the Ministry of Justice confirmed the posts about Letby were false. When contacted by the Mirror, the MOJ declined to comment. Professor Yvonne Jewkes, professor of criminology at the University of Bath, told the Telegraph: "She'll associate mostly with prison officers, her key worker in the prison, and one or two cleaners, but much of that interaction will be through the hatch in her cell door."
