Thirlwall Inquiry Probes Lucy Letby's Crimes

The public inquiry into Lucy Letby's crimes has revealed that hospital management at the Countess of Chester Hospital did not alert police about her suspicious behavior sooner because they 'never expected' a nurse could be responsible for such crimes. Letby, convicted in 2023 of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more between 2015 and 2016, had a significantly higher rate of breathing tube dislodgements during her earlier placements at Liverpool Women's Hospital. This anomaly, occurring in 40% of her shifts compared to the usual 1%, was highlighted in the Thirlwall Inquiry. Former hospital executives have apologized for the delay in contacting police and poor communication with victims' families. The inquiry is also addressing concerns that conspiracies about Letby's innocence are unfounded, emphasizing the overwhelming evidence of her guilt.
