Letby case: father tells of 'headless chickens' at hospital unit
The Guardian
|September 26, 2024
The father of two triplet babies murdered by Lucy Letby has described frantic scenes as the children collapsed, with medical staff in a neonatal unit appearing to search online for tutorials to guide them through "everyday" medical procedures.
Letby injected air into the bloodstream of Child O and also into his stomach through a nasogastric tube, as well as administering air into the stomach of his brother, Child P.
The deaths in June 2016 were previously said to be the "tipping point" for consultants who suspected Letby was to blame and demanded she be removed from the unit at the Countess of Chester hospital.
Letby, 34, was sentenced to 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted across two trials of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others.
A public inquiry, led by Lady Justice Thirlwall, is examining events at the hospital's neonatal unit, where Letby was a nurse from 2015 to 2016.
She was first arrested in 2018 and convicted in 2023 and 2024.
