Letby was said to have shouted for help and was seen to use a breathing device on Child K when her fellow nurses came into nursery one at about 7.30am.Letby said: "I think that sounds like actions I would be taking if it was happening."Letby replied: "I don’t think I can comment on whether someone is telling the truth or not. I only know what I know."

The breathing tube was found to have moved a fifth of the way in from where a doctor had placed it, jurors heard.Mr Johnson reminded jurors that a nursing expert had told the court the incident should have been reported verbally by Letby to Child K’s designated nurse and written up in the nursing notes.Mr Johnson said: “I will offer an answer for you, because you didn’t want there to be a written record of your involvement in this third extubation of this extremely premature child.
