The Allegations Against Lucy Letby
Lucy Letby is on trial for the alleged murder of seven newborn babies and the attempted murder of ten others. The prosecution argues that Letby poisoned, injected air, or overfed the babies, causing them harm or death. The alleged incidents occurred over a twelve-month period when Letby was working on the neo-natal unit of Chester Hospital. The prosecution claims that Letby was the only person working on the night shift, and some attacks allegedly happened during that time when fewer staff and parents were present.
