Letby had faced a retrial over the attempted murder of the infant known as Child K in 2016.
Convicted child killer Lucy Letby has been found guilty at Manchester Crown Court of the attempted murder of a baby girl at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
On Tuesday, Letby was convicted by the fresh jury of trying to murder the “very premature” infant by dislodging her breathing tube in the early hours of February 17 2016. About 90 minutes after her birth, Letby deliberately dislodged Child K’s breathing tube through which she was being ventilated with air and oxygen.
He said he heard no call for help from Letby or alarms sounding as Child K’s blood oxygen levels suddenly dropped. Letby also denied the prosecution’s claims that she interfered with the infant’s breathing tube on two more occasions during the same shift to create the impression that Child K was habitually displacing her own tube.
More than two years later on a late Friday night in April 2018, Letby searched on Facebook for Child K’s surname.
