Nurse Lucy Letby ‘murdered seven babies and tried to kill newborn girl three times’
The Metro says An NHS maternity nurse accused of murdering seven babies and trying to kill 10 more has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Lucy Letby, 32, is accused of a year-long killing spree while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire between 2015 and 2016.
A criminal investigation leading to her arrest was launched after the number of deaths at the hospital’s neonatal ward doubled and independent reviews failed to find an explanation.
Letby, from Hereford, denies 22 charges over the deaths of five boys and two girls, including 15 counts of attempted murder against five boys and five girls who were born prematurely.
