She is on trial accused of attempting to kill another infant, known as Baby K, by displacing her endotracheal tube less than two hours after she was born in the early hours of 17 February 2016. Letby denies the charge. Letby said she could not recall the first event but that it was the hospital’s policy to wait and see if a baby “self-corrected” rather than intervene immediately.
Nick Johnson KC, prosecuting, questioned whether that policy also applied to newborns as premature as Baby K. Letby said her only memory of Baby K was that the infant was extremely premature. She told jurors Baby K was only on the neonatal unit briefly before being transferred to Arrowe Park hospital.
