Letby, 34, denies a charge of attempted murder

A jury heard a series of messages former nurse Lucy Letby is said to have sent to colleagues after allegedly attacking a premature baby two hours after she was born.

On the third day of her trial at Manchester Crown Court, today Cheshire Police analyst Kate Tyndall outlined a series of text messages the defendant is said to have sent colleagues after she is alleged to have attempted to murder the infant. Some three-and-a-half hours later, after there had been no reply, Letby texted the nurse: “Everything OK. Not like you not to text back lol.”Letby was said to have replied: “Yeah but not until 2 ish and very unstable.”

She confirmed she and other consultants would ‘oversee’ the care of premature babies, and that included Child K. Questioned by junior prosecutor Simon Driver, Dr Brigham confirmed an entry taken by a midwife contains a brief history of Child K’s mother. When she returned to work the following day, on February 16, the doctor confirmed she completed her morning rounds, and saw Child K’s mother at 9.20am. She confirmed she read the patient’s notes.
