Hello. My names muted i from cheshire police. Can we step in two seconds . Oh, yes. This is the moment when the net closed in. Yep, not a problem. In tears, lucy letby is brought out of her house under arrest and taken away. It seemed unbelievable a neonatal nurse, a protector of the most vulnerable members of society. Lucy letby had worked at the countess of chester Childrens Hospital since 2012. In early 2015, she qualified to work in the neonatal high dependency and intensive care units. Onjune 8 that year, she committed her first murder. For the next 12 months, the attacks continued. Injune 2016, two babies died in two days. 0n the third day, another baby collapsed.

Behind the door of this ordinary suburban house, britains most prolific baby killer was finally arrested three years after her murder spree began. Just take a seat there for me, lucy. Ill move that seat forward a bit. Ive just had knee surgery. 0h, right, 0k. She worked here, on the Neonatal Unit at the countess of chester hospital.

Obviously, we have touched upon the fact that there is now a wider review into lucy letby s footprint, during her whole time working at Liverpool Womens and potentially early at the Countess Of Chester, so we are not clear at the moment as to where the next stage of the investigation might lead to.
