Overview

  • The Chase and Shannon 173-page analysis argues that insulin-binding antibodies and test adsorption could explain elevated readings without any hormone being deliberately injected.
  • The defence team notes that key blood samples were destroyed and no missing insulin was found in feeding lines, challenging the prosecution’s core evidence.
  • BBC Panorama’s latest documentary underscores conflicting expert views on neonatal insulin interpretation and air embolism causation in Letby’s trial.
  • Cheshire police have arrested three former senior ss of ChesteChester Hospital staff on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter during ongoing investigations into neonatal deaths.
  • Letby continues her whole-life sentences while the CCRC review, a public inquiry, and separate probes into hospital practices move forward without a retrial order.
