Lucy Letby

Lucy Letby is a former nurse who was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016. She is currently serving 15 whole-life prison terms. Letby is newsworthy due to several recent developments. Firstly, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has announced that she will not face any new charges, despite considering 11 further allegations. Secondly, a new Netflix documentary featuring footage related to her arrest has drawn criticism from her parents, who describe it as an invasion of privacy. They are particularly concerned about the release of police video taken at their home. Finally, the Countess of Chester hospital, where Letby committed her crimes, continues to be in the news, with a former CEO highlighting concerns about how the NHS handles whistleblower complaints in the wake of the Letby case.
