Inquiry Suggests Lucy Letby May Have Harmed More Babies

A public inquiry reveals that Lucy Letby, convicted of multiple infant murders, likely attacked more children before June 2015.

  • Dr. Stephen Brearey, a senior consultant, testified that incidents prior to June 2015 should have raised alarms about Letby's actions.
  • Hospital executives allegedly ignored repeated warnings from doctors about Letby's suspicious behavior.
  • Letby was convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016.
  • Concerns were raised about Letby's involvement in numerous baby deaths, but police were not called until May 2017.
  • The inquiry, chaired by Lady Justice Thirlwall, is expected to continue into early 2025, with findings published later that year.
