Lucy Letby Convicted of Attempted Murder of Child K

Lucy Letby, a former NHS nurse, has been convicted of the attempted murder of Child K, adding to her previous convictions of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others. Letby was handed a whole-life sentence, ensuring she will spend the rest of her life in prison. Supporters of Letby, including her parents, continue to claim she is a victim of a miscarriage of justice, despite overwhelming evidence and jury decisions. The retrial revealed she was 'caught virtually red-handed' by a consultant paediatrician. Letby's initial trial almost collapsed due to a malicious phone call alleging jury bias, but the appeal based on this incident was rejected. The NHS faces scrutiny over alleged failures to heed warnings about Letby, and a public inquiry chaired by Lady Justice Thirlwall is set to investigate how she was allowed to continue working at the hospital despite concerns.
