Lucy Letby, 34, was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.

A former Cabinet minister has said he is more than 90 per cent sure that baby killer Lucy Letby is innocent.

But Mr Davis believes the convictions are unsafe and said he would be willing to visit Letby in jail to discuss the case with her. He added: 'The most likely reason is one of two things, either poor management of the hospital - the Royal College found that, or a superbug - an investigation found that, or both together. That is much more likely.

One of the main prosecution witnesses, Dr Dewi Evans, also performed an about-turn about how 'Baby C' died. Photo issued by the Crown Prosecution Service of a note found in the house of Lucy Letby, which was shown at her trial at Manchester Crown Court Dr Evans now says: 'His demise occurred the following day around midnight , and due to air in the bloodstream.'

The inquiry heard last week how Letby had told a colleague that she couldn't wait for her first death' on her first day of work as a nurse. 'She made a comment, something along the lines of, 'I can't wait for my first death to get it out of the way,' Nurse ZC said. 'It took me aback because, even though I was a trained nurse it's not something I actively wanted to happen.

The inquiry later heard that Letby was identified among the 'creme de la creme' of students by a nursing boss, who told that she never saw any evidence of wrongdoing by the convicted killer.
