The trial of the ex-nurse, who is accused of attempting to kill a newborn girl, has opened at Manchester crown court
Lucy Letby’s murder of seven babies in the hospital where she worked is an “importance piece of the evidence” to consider when assessing a further charge of attempted murder, a jury has been told.
At the opening of the trial on Wednesday, jurors were told that Letby, 34, was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England. Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC told jurors that her convictions were “significant evidence of what her intention was at the time” she allegedly harmed a 14th infant, Baby K.“But as all of you – or I’m sure most of you – know already, there was a very long trial when Lucy Letby was convicted of seven murders and seven counts of attempted murder: six others she attempted to murder, one of them twice.
