Police Investigate Two More Baby Deaths Linked to Letby

Police are continuing to investigate two additional baby deaths linked to Lucy Letby, a former neonatal nurse convicted of murdering seven infants between June 2015 and June 2016 at the Countess of Chester Hospital. A document from the Thirlwall Inquiry revealed that while all 17 deaths from this period have been reviewed, only two are still under active investigation. Letby, who is currently serving a life sentence, has been interviewed by detectives regarding these deaths as part of a broader review involving the care of 4,000 babies she treated during her tenure. The inquiry includes cases from both Chester and Liverpool Women's Hospital, where Letby was trained. Notably, some deaths previously included in the investigation have been ruled out due to identified natural causes. The police have indicated that any new charges related to these investigations may not occur until well into the new year.
