COULD LUCY LETBY BE INNOCENT?

A new expert report could see the notorious English serial killer's convictions overturned

Branded as one of the UK's worst serial killers, former nurse Lucy Letby could soon see her 15 life sentence convictions overturned, thanks to a new summary report written by a panel of neonatal experts.

The 14-strong panel, led by retired Canadian neonatologist Dr Shoo Lee says evidence used to convict the 35-year-old for killing seven babies and attempting to kill another seven at Countess of Chester Hospital in north-west England in 2015 and 2016, was misused by the prosecution in the initial trial in August 2023.

"In summary then, ladies and gentleman, we did not find murders," Dr Lee told a press conference on February 6.

"In all cases, death or injury was due to natural causes or just bad medical care."
