Lucy Letby Denied Appeal in Baby Murder Convictions

Court of Appeal rejects former nurse's bid to overturn convictions for killing seven infants and attempting to murder six others.

  • Lucy Letby was found guilty last year and sentenced to 14 life terms for her crimes at Countess of Chester Hospital.
  • The Court of Appeal's decision marks the end of Letby's legal challenge against her convictions.
  • Letby will face a retrial in June for one count of attempted murder related to a 2016 incident.
  • A public inquiry into the hospital's practices during Letby's tenure is planned for autumn.
  • Details of the appeal hearing remain restricted due to legal orders.
