Lucy Letby is a child killer. Last year she was convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to murder six more while working as a neo-natal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital, in the NW of England and was sentenced to spend her life in jail.
She is now back in court to face a retrial on one charge the jury could not reach a verdict on - the alleged Attempted Murder of a premature baby girl, known as Baby K.
Follow the trial's evidence just as the jury do, with twice-weekly reports from Daily Mail northern correspondent Liz Hull and broadcast journalist Caroline Cheetham.
In this podcast, they bring you far more detail about what the jury heard, examine key moments of the trial, and conduct exclusive interviews with investigative detectives, victims, and experts.

In this episode, Caroline and Liz sign off for the time being. So they’re handing over to you and will try to answer some of the questions you’ve been asking throughout the trial. Many of these questions couldn't be addressed earlier due to legal restrictions, and they still can’t answer everything, but they’ll shed some light on some of the things you’ve wanted to know.
They also bring up an update from the steps of Manchester Crown Court about a development in the trial against Lucy Letby.
Thanks for listening and we’ll be back with any updates.

Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast!
I only recently learnt of this case (weirdly!) & am obsessed with this podcast. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s really clearly presented, concise, well explained & most importantly, given the highly emotive nature of the topic, delivered in a sensitive & kind way. Highly recommend - if you can stomach such a tough topic.
Well done!
Very well done to all involved. Very well made and informative. The only drawback would be the long introduction that seemed to go on a bit too long.
