Letby denies murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others on the unit between June 2015 and June 2016
Medics could find no reason why a baby suddenly collapsed during a night shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital, the trial of nurse Lucy Letby heard at Manchester Crown Court today . It is alleged Letby attempted to murder the premature-born girl on successive shifts in the early hours of September 26 and 27, 2015.

At 3.24am, she received a crash call from the nurses in the neo-natal unit, the court heard.
Dr Ventress said: “We followed the cardiac arrest protocol and she recovered, but we never found a reason why she got into that state.” The court heard that three chest drains were put into Child H over several days before her first sudden collapse. Mr Myers went on: “Indeed in the hours leading up the event we are looking at, there was a series of desaturations over the night, weren’t they?” “Yes,” repeated Dr Ventress.
