Lucy Letby and Sara Sharif's killer step-mum 'play games of Uno in prison
Killer nurse Lucy Letby has formed a disturbing friendship with Sara Shariff's stepmother behind bars, according to reports. Letby, who killed seven babies in her care, and Beinash Batool, 31, serving life for murdering her ten-year-old stepdaughter Sara Sharif, are both locked up in Surrey's HMP Bronzefield. A prison source told The Sun the unlikely pair have bonded over their love of cheese toasties and the card game Uno – in which players try to get rid of all their cards and yell 'Uno' to the annoyance of other prisoners. They said: 'It's a grim spectacle. They spend ages at the table playing and get really into it. 'People are angry, but staff have to do what they can to keep prisoners happy.' They added the child killers both have jobs behind bars with Batool working in the library and Letby starting out as a cleaner. 'They are also monitored closely by staff as they are at risk of attack. But their lives will stay quite comfortable as long as they behave. 'The difference between them is that Batool does not discuss her crime, while Letby tells anyone who will listen that', they alleged. Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016. Letby, who has always maintained her innocence, lost two bids last year to challenge her convictions at the Court of Appeal for the seven murders and seven attempted murders, and in October for the attempted murder of a baby girl, which she was convicted of by a different jury at a retrial. Sara's father and stepmum Batool were jailed for life with minimum terms of 40 years and 33 years in December for the young girl's killing. Described as a 'very courageous little girl with an unquenchable spirit', she suffered years of torture at the hands of dad Urfan, who regularly battered her with a cricket bat, metal pole and phone – even as she lay dying. Sara suffered more than 25 broken bones, iron burns on her bottom, burn marks likely from hot water on her feet, and human adult bite marks during a campaign of abuse spanning at least two years. Her parents fled to Pakistan, leaving Sara's battered and broken body under the pink duvet on her bunk bed at their Surrey home.

Evil Lucy Letby and Sara Sharif's killer step-mum spend hours playing cards in jail
Killer nurse Lucy Letby and Sara Sharif's murderer step-mum, Beinash Batool, have reportedly grown even closer in prison by playing Uno for hours together Baby murderer Lucy Letby has grown even closer with another one of the UK's most hated child killers, as the evil duo bond over playing Uno in jail. Letby and Beinash Batool, who tortured and murdered her step-daughter Sara Sharif, 10, have become pals while locked up in prison for their horror crimes. Batool - who is serving 33 years over the senseless murder of 10-year-old Sara - and Letby - who was handed 15 whole life orders - have struck up a friendship while at HMP Bronzefield, in Surrey. The child killers have reportedly been given "enhanced" privileges which has let them be pals. The Mirror previously exclusively revealed the killing pair were now said to be "best friends" in prison. A prison insider revealed: "She's best friends with that Beinash." Letby and Batool have been able to spend hours in each other's jail cells while playing the card game Uno, according to The Sun. Staff and other prisoners at the jail have been left enraged by the chilling fun had between the evil killers. A source told The Sun: "It's a grim spectacle. They spend ages at the table playing and get really into it. People are angry, but staff have to do what they can to keep prisoners happy." This person also claimed the pair had privileges within the prison, adding: "They are both enhanced prisoners, so they get a lot of freedom and can buy decent food. And they are often in the kitchen, chatting and making cheese toasties." The pair have both managed to bag prime jobs on HouseBlock Four with Letby running the laundry and Batool in the kitchens. A Mirror source revealed what some inmates think about killer nurse Letby, saying: "Letby's just odd, she has a weird look, when she thinks someone is looking at her, she's staring at people, then she's best friends with that Beinash which isn't helping her at all, because everyone knows she's guilty, guilty, guilty. "The unfortunate thing is she doesn't come across as very sympathetic, she's not very friendly, she's super shy actually, but she will help wherever she can. When she walked in no-one thought she was innocent, they used to be really really nasty, Lucy has to be accompanied by a guard everywhere she goes, she is considered dangerous and also is vulnerable to other prisoners." The 35-year-old from Herefordshire was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven more whilst she worked as a nurse at the Countess of Chester in 2015 and 2016. Despite these convictions, a team campaigning on Letby's behalf claim she has suffered a miscarriage of justice. A panel of international experts have since published a bombshell report alleging Lucy Letby committed no crimes - with police refuting the "ill-informed" claims. Batool tortured and murdered her step-daughter Sara and the youngster suffered "unimaginable pain, misery and anxiety" as she was repeatedly beaten, burned, bitten and restrained at her family home in Woking, by her dad Urfan Sharif and Batool.
