Nurse claims she was blamed by ‘gang of four’ consultants for alleged attacks on Child F and L at Countess of Chester hospital
Lucy Letby, the nurse on trial for murdering babies in her care, has told a jury that two babies were deliberately poisoned with insulin – but not by her.
Letby, 33, denies murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others on the neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016. None of the babies can be named for legal reasons. Nick Johnson KC, cross-examining Letby for a second day, asked her if she agreed that “someone” had “unlawfully” given Child F and Child L insulin. She agreed, saying that the feeding bags must have been tampered with by either someone on the unit or before the bags arrived on the ward.
She said staff failings had contributed to the death of one baby, Child A, because he had been left without fluids for four hours because of problems with his feeding lines.
