Letby, 34, was found guilty at Manchester Crown Court of the attack on the newborn infant during a night shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit in February 2016.

Letby, of Hereford, targeted the"very premature" baby after she was moved from the delivery room to the unit's intensive care room in the early hours of 17 February. Dr Jayaram told jurors he saw"no evidence" that she had done anything to help the deteriorating baby as he walked in and saw her standing next to the infant's incubator.

Letby also denied the prosecution's claims that she interfered with the infant's breathing tube on two more occasions during the same shift to create the impression it was accidentally displaced.
