Cheshire constabulary

Cheshire Constabulary is the police force responsible for policing the county of Cheshire in England. They are currently newsworthy due to their involvement in the investigation of Lucy Letby, a former nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others. Following Letby's conviction, David Davis, a former cabinet minister, publicly criticized the Constabulary's handling of the investigation, calling for a review. The police force has strongly rejected this criticism. Simultaneously, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced that Letby will not face any new charges related to alleged crimes at the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital, further highlighting the significance and scrutiny surrounding the initial investigation conducted by Cheshire Constabulary. The force's response to criticism and the CPS decision underscore the ongoing sensitivity and public interest in the Letby case and the role of the police in it.
