Letby is reported to have struck up a bizarre friendship with Beinash Batool, who murdered her 10-year-old stepdaughter Sara Sharif.

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".

Stunning moment plane passenger is tackled on flight after 'Allahu Akbar' shouts
Dramatic footage captured on board an easyJet flight shows passengers restraining a man who shouted about a bomb, prompting an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport. In the video, chaos unfolds in the cramped cabin as a man raises his hands and shouts "Allahu Akbar". He can also be heard mentioning a "bomb" and moments later yells "death to America" and "death to Trump". The recording shows passengers swiftly intervening, wrestling the man to the ground and pinning him against the aisle floor. A person in a green jacket is seen approaching the man and dragging him to the ground. The plane made an emergency landing after the incident unfolded. "The pilot announced he was making an emergency landing and took the plane down so quickly," one passenger, who did not wish to be named, told The Sun. The man is pinned to the ground by passengers The witness added: "He literally came out of the toilet shouting 'Allahu Akbar' with his hands above his head. Then he said 'I've got a bomb, I've got a bomb' - at this point people were confused. I thought he was joking, I mean it's a weird joke." Once the plane was on the ground at Glasgow Airport, police boarded the flight and removed the man. Police confirmed a 41-year-old man was arrested, and counter-terrorism officers are reviewing the footage now circulating on social media.

"EasyJet's crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other customers is not compromised at any time. The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority." A Police Scotland spokesman added: "We received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving in Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025. A 41-year-old man was arrested in connection and further enquiries are ongoing. "At this time we believe the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved.

Our family cat was swung in a noose and smashed into a wall by a sick thug – How could someone be so cruel?
A FAMILY whose pet cat was tortured for fun by a sick thug have told of their horror at his ordeal. 6 Sarah Keeling cuddles pet cat Marshall who was swung around in a noose and repeatedly smashed into a wall Credit: Dan Charity 6 Sarah has told The Sun of her shock when she was shown doorbell camera footage of her pet's 6am trauma last week Credit: Supplied 6 Marshall was taken to a vet and given pain killers for bruising and swelling, but X-rays amazingly found no broken bones Credit: Dan Charity The ginger moggie returned home hours later gasping for breath and with rope still around his throat. Marshall was taken to a vet and given pain killers for bruising and swelling, but X-rays amazingly found no broken bones. Owner Sarah Keeling, 38, has told The Sun of her shock when she was shown doorbell camera footage of her pet's 6am trauma last week. Hospital worker Sarah, who is eight months pregnant, said: 'I don't know what goes through someone's head to do such a cruel thing to a little animal. Read More on UK News "Marshall would have just gone out at that time. He would have gone up to that man expecting to be pampered because he's really friendly and loves the attention. 'Instead, he got rope wrapped around his neck and swung around like a rag doll. I don't understand how someone can walk past the house and do that. It seemed like he was trying to kill our poor cat in the video. 'I watched it and felt ill in my stomach. It was sickening. I genuinely thought Marshall was dead and we'd never see him again. But I knew if he was alive, he would come home.' Sarah's eight-year-old daughter Emily was distraught when Marshall went missing last Thursday. Most read in The Sun As locals helped to hunt for the cat, Emily wrote a heartbreaking letter to her beloved pet which read: 'We won't let you down. If we do, I'm sorry. I love you.' Sarah said: 'Emily was devastated. I just told her someone had been nasty to the cat and he ran away but we'll find him.' When Marshall came back at 1am on Friday, Emily fell asleep snuggling with the cat on the sofa. Shock moment a cat has a near miss with an unexpected explosion Emily said: 'We were cuddling and snoring. I was very sad and angry when he went missing. I wrote a letter to him and I read it to him. We play together a lot. I play with his favourite little cat toy which is a stick with a mouse. 'Lots of people have given him new toys which we'll try playing with. The vet said he's put on weight from all the treats. At least he's home, that's all that matters.' Sarah's partner Stuart Duncombe, 41, a kitchen appliance fitter, said: 'I don't get how anyone could do that. It was really shocking.' Marshall's ordeal came just weeks after Sarah's son Jake, 12, lost his cat Millie when she was run over. The family of Basingstoke, Hants, set up a GoFundMe page to cover vet bills which has raised £4,000. Henry Newey, 18, has admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and is due to be sentenced by Basingstoke JPs in September. 6 Sarah said: 'I don't know what goes through someone's head to do such a cruel thing to a little animal' 6 Sarah added: 'He got rope wrapped around his neck and swung around like a rag doll' 6 The sick attack on Marshall was captured on a doorbell camera Credit: GOFUNDME
