Thank you for contacting me about the guilty verdict in the trial of former neonatal nurse, Lucy Letby.
I would like to send my deepest sympathy to all the parents and families impacted by the horrendous events that took place at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Letby was charged with the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of ten other babies between June 2015 and June 2016 while she worked as a neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The jury found her guilty of seven counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, and not guilty of two counts of attempted murder. Verdicts were not reached on six counts of attempted murder. As you may have seen, the Crown Prosecution Service is seeking a retrial on one count of attempted murder.
