Lucy Letby’s Lawyer Submits New Evidence Challenging Convictions

Reports from international experts claim natural causes and medical mismanagement, not malfeasance, explain infant deaths at Chester hospital.

Lucy Letby’s legal team has delivered new medical evidence to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), asserting her convictions for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others are unsafe.
The evidence includes findings from a 14-member international panel of experts and a separate report from seven medics, both suggesting natural causes and poor medical care as explanations for the infant deaths.
Key trial evidence, including insulin testing, is challenged as unreliable and potentially misleading, with claims that critical information was not presented to the jury.
Victims' families and prosecutors have dismissed the new findings as flawed and reiterate confidence in the integrity of Letby’s convictions, which have already been reviewed by two juries and appeal courts.
The CCRC is reviewing the submission, while ongoing police investigations and a public inquiry into hospital systemic failures remain active, with inquiry findings expected in November 2025.
