Wednesday, 8 January 2025 () A senior Conservative has called for a retrial for Lucy Letby, the nurse jailed for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others.
Lucy Letby’s legal team has said the lead prosecution expert has “now changed his mind” on the cause of death of three babies, meaning her conviction should be reviewed. Lucy Letby’s Barrister, Mark McDonald, said the defence would seek permission to “take the exceptional but necessary decision to apply to reopen the appeal of Lucy Letby and immediately review all her convictions”.
