Lucy Letby Questioned Over Additional Baby Deaths and Collapses

The convicted child killer, serving life sentences for murdering seven infants, is under investigation for further suspicious incidents at two UK hospitals.

  • Lucy Letby, already convicted for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others, has been interviewed under caution in prison about additional deaths and collapses of infants during her time at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and Countess of Chester Hospital.
  • Police are reviewing 4,000 neonatal cases across both hospitals, focusing on incidents during Letby’s training placements and employment from 2012 to 2016.
  • Expert medical witnesses have raised concerns over unexplained events, including dislodged chest drains and ventilator issues, occurring disproportionately during Letby’s shifts.
  • A public inquiry is examining whether hospital management failed to act on early warnings from doctors about the rise in unexplained infant deaths and collapses linked to Letby.
  • Letby continues to maintain her innocence, with her legal team questioning the evidence used in her conviction and raising concerns about police conduct in the ongoing investigation.
