worked there will begin this week. Hearings for the Thirlwall inquiry, led by Lady Justice Kathryn Thirlwall, will be held at Liverpool town hall and will examine how Letby was able to carry out the murders of a number of babies at the Chester hospital’s neonatal unit in 2015 and 2016.Letby is a 34-year-old former neonatal nurse sentenced to 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others.
The jury was unable to reach verdicts on six further counts of attempted murder, relating to five babies. She later faced retrial on one count of attempted murder.In July this year, Letby was found guilty of trying to kill a two-hour-old baby girl on the same hospital ward where she murdered seven other infants.
Letby had put forward four grounds of appeal, each of which involved the submission that the trial judge wrongly refused applications she made during the trial at Manchester crown court.The Thirlwall inquiry has been set up to examine events at the Countess of Chester hospital and their implications after Letby’s trial and subsequent convictions.
