Peter Hindmarsh

Professor Peter Hindmarsh is a medical professional who served as a key expert witness for the prosecution in the Lucy Letby trial. He provided crucial evidence, particularly regarding insulin poisoning, which was central to the case against Letby. Hindmarsh is now newsworthy because it has been revealed that he was under investigation by both his employing hospital and the General Medical Council (GMC) during the trial. The hospital investigation concerned serious issues in his medical work, while the GMC investigation focused on his fitness to practice, including allegations of patient harm. Neither the police nor the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) were informed about these investigations before Hindmarsh gave his evidence. This raises questions about the transparency and completeness of the information presented during the trial and the potential impact on the case's integrity.
