Lucy Letby found guilty of another murder

Former nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of attempting to murder a premature baby girl, Baby K, following a retrial. Baby K’s family described their ordeal as a ‘long, torturous and emotional journey – twice’, expressing their continued distress. Last August, Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The retrial jury determined she tried to murder Baby K by dislodging her breathing tube. A consultant who intervened to resuscitate Baby K testified that Letby did nothing to help. The baby died three days later due to extreme prematurity and severe respiratory distress syndrome. The hospital has since made significant changes to its services. A public inquiry will begin in September, and a police investigation is ongoing.
