Lucy Letby receives another whole-life order for attempted murder of baby girl

Child serial killer nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced to another whole-life order for the attempted murder of a baby girl.

Earlier this week, 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 neonatal unit in February 2016.

Last August, she was convicted at the same court by another jury of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others, with two attempts on one child.
