Child Killer Lucy Letby ‘Plans To Launch Fresh Appeal With New Legal Team’

Child serial killer Lucy Letby is planning to launch a fresh appeal with a new legal team, her barrister has said, according to the BBC.

The former nurse was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of seven others, with two attempts on one child, when she worked on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

After two trials, Letby is serving 15 whole-life orders – making her only the fourth woman in UK history to be told she will never be released from prison.

Her new barrister, Mark McDonald, said he plans to make an application for Letby’s case to be sent back to the Court of Appeal. In May, the former nurse lost her bid to challenge her convictions from last year.

Talk’s Peter Cardwell discusses the story with former criminal barrister and author Helen Fields.
