    Prosecutors consider more charges against Lucy Letby

    Cliff Notes

    • Prosecutors are reviewing additional evidence for potential criminal charges against Lucy Letby, focusing on deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at two hospitals where she worked.
    • Letby, previously convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, is serving 15 whole-life orders; police are investigating her time at both Chester and Liverpool hospitals from 2012 to 2016.
    • Three hospital managers have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, with ongoing investigations into corporate manslaughter and a public inquiry examining the hospital’s response to Letby’s actions.

    Prosecutors are considering whether to bring further criminal charges against Lucy Letby over the deaths of babies at two hospitals where she worked

    The Crown Prosecution Service said it had received “a full file of evidence from Cheshire Constabulary asking us to consider further allegations in relation to deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital”.

    “We will now carefully consider the evidence to determine whether any further criminal charges should be brought,” it added.

    “As always, we will make that decision independently, based on the evidence and in line with our legal test.”

    Letby, 35, was found guilty of murdering seven children and attempting to murder seven more between June 2015 and June 2016 while working in the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital and is currently serving 15 whole-life orders.

    She is understood to have carried out two work placements at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, where she trained as a student, between October and December 2012, and January and February 2015.

    Police said in December that Letby was interviewed in prison as part of an investigation into more baby deaths and non-fatal collapses.

    A Cheshire Constabulary spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Cheshire Constabulary has submitted a full file of evidence to the CPS for charging advice regarding the ongoing investigation into deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the neo-natal units of both the Countess of Chester Hospital and the Liverpool Women’s Hospital as part of Operation Hummingbird.”

    Detectives previously said the investigation was looking into the full period of time that Letby worked as a nurse, covering the period from 2012 to 2016 and including a review of 4,000 admissions of babies.

    Letby’s lawyer Mark McDonald said: “The evidence of the innocence of Lucy Letby is overwhelming,” adding: “We will cross every bridge when we get to it but if Lucy is charged I know we have a whole army of internationally renowned medical experts who will totally undermine the prosecution’s unfounded allegations.”
