Killer neonatal nurse Lucy Letby retrial over attempted murder charge
The trial, which is expected to last four weeks, is taking place at Manchester Crown Court
Last updated 10th Jun 2024
Child serial killer Lucy Letby will go on trial today over an allegation that she attempted to murder a baby girl.
In August 2023, Letby was handed 14 whole life orders for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others.
The 34-year-old committed those crimes whilst working at the Countess of Chester Hospital, between June 2015 and June 2016.
During the initial trial, the jury was unable to reach verdicts on a further six counts of attempted murder.
She'll be retried on one of those allegations, relating to the death of a baby girl in February 2016, but not the remaining counts.
The retrial is expected to last four weeks at Manchester Crown Court.
