Nurse Lucy Letby Denies Tampering with Premature Baby's Breathing Tube

Prosecutors allege Letby was caught in the act, but she maintains her innocence in retrial for attempted murder of Baby K.

  • Lucy Letby is on trial for allegedly attempting to murder a premature baby, known as Baby K, in 2016.
  • She was previously convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others between 2015 and 2016.
  • Prosecutors claim Letby was seen tampering with Baby K's breathing tube multiple times during a night shift.
  • Letby argues that hospital policy was to wait and see if babies self-corrected before intervening.
  • A retrial was ordered after the previous jury could not reach a verdict on the charges related to Baby K.
