Lucy Letby to face retrial on charge of attempting to murder baby

UK

Former nurse Lucy Letby will face a retrial on a charge of attempting to murder a baby.

She will not face further action on another five counts of attempted murder that a jury failed to reach verdicts on.

A provisional trial date has been fixed for 10 June next year, and is expected to last two to three weeks.

Letby was found guilty in August of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six other infants while working on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

The 33-year-old was given a whole-life prison sentence for each offence she committed.

She has filed a formal appeal against her convictions – but a date is yet to be set to hear the appeal.
