Lucy Letby denies having killed babies at attempted murder trial

Lucy Letby has denied ever having murdered babies as she gave evidence in her trial over the alleged attempted murder of a two-hour-old infant.

The jury has been told that Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempted to kill six others after a trial at Manchester crown court last year. Letby is accused of trying to murder Baby K, who was born “extremely premature” at 25 weeks gestation, shortly after her nurse had left her side, by displacing the infant’s breathing tube.

A feeding chart shown to the court showed Letby had signed for a 55ml feed at 3.30am for that infant, who cannot be named. That task would usually take about 10 to 15 minutes, she said.Letby is alleged to have been in nursery No 1 alone with Baby K at 3.40am “babysitting” the infant when her nurse, Joanne Williams, briefly left the infant’s side to update her parents.

Under cross-examination, Letby was asked why she had accepted in her police interview Jayaram’s account of seeing her beside Baby K’s monitor in the early hours of 17 February 2016.
