Expert panel claims 'no criminal offences committed' in Lucy Letby case after bombshell new report into baby deaths

A panel of medical experts has concluded that "no criminal offences had been committed" in the case of child killer Lucy Letby.

Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted across two trials at Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.

The 14-strong panel has provided alternative causes of death.

An international panel of medical experts has provided case summaries on all 17 babies who featured in the 10-month trial of Lucy Letby.

The 14-strong panel concluded that no criminal offences had been committed at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016 and instead provided alternative causes of death:

The Crown said Letby attempted to murder the boy by injecting liquid, and possibly air, down his feeding tube.

The panel said there was no evidence to support air injection into the stomach and the child deteriorated because he had early symptoms of a serious gastrointestinal problem, or sepsis.
