Child killer Lucy Letby has been found guilty of trying to murder another baby.

Letb aged 34 was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others between June 2015 and June 2016.

Letby had worked at Countess of Chester Hospital

A further allegation concerning a baby known as Child K could not be reached and a retrial was ordered.

Letby was said to have target Child K ed Child K who weighed only in February 2016 shortly after birth.

The jury was told that a Dr caught the nurse virtually red-handed who then had to resuscitate the baby.

The baby was transferred to another hospital however passed away three days later.

Letby has denied killing the children.

Senior Crown Prosecutor Nicola Wyn Williams, of CPS Mersey-Cheshire’s Complex Casework Unit, said: “Our case included direct evidence from a doctor who walked into the nursery to find a very premature baby desaturating with Letby standing by, taking no action to help or to raise the alarm. She had deliberately dislodged the breathing tube in an attempt to kill her.

“Staff at the unit had to think the unthinkable – that one of their own was deliberately harming and killing babies in their care.

“Letby dislodged the tube a further two times over the following few hours in an attempt to cover her tracks and suggest that the first dislodgment was accidental. These were the actions of a cold-blooded, calculated killer.

“The grief that the family of Baby K have felt is unimaginable. Our thoughts remain with them and all those affected by this case at this time.”
