Killer nurse Lucy Letby is accused of attempting to murder the infant by displacing her breathing tube
The mother of a newborn girl allegedly attacked by killer nurse Lucy Letby said it was the "hardest decision of my life" to switch off her daughter's life support, a court has heard.
The prosecution says Letby went on to interfere with Child K's breathing tube twice more on the same night shift in a bid to create the impression with her colleagues that the infant was habitually dislodging her own tube. Child K was eventually transported to Wirral's Arrowe Park Hospital later the same day.
"We didn't want to be informed that we'd lost our little girl by alarms on the machines going off. We didn't want to prolong things any more.
