Lucy Letby 'tried to murder premature baby within two hours of her birth'

A court's head how nurse Lucy Letby tried kill a baby girl within two hours of her birth.

A nurse on trial for multiple murders at a hospital neo-natal unit tried to kill a baby girl within two hours of her birth, a court has heard.

Letby was on a night shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital when the baby, known as Child K, was born at 25 weeks gestation and brought into the neo-natal unit in February 2016. On Monday, prosecutor Nick Johnson KC told Manchester Crown Court: ‘It is alleged Lucy Letby interfered with the endotracheal tube and Dr Ravi Jayaram walked in to the immediate aftermath of that.’

The breathing tube was then removed and her oxygen rate ‘recovered pretty quickly’ after she received rescue breaths through a facemask, the court was told.
