The 34-year-old was found guilty by a jury earlier this week following a retrial at Manchester Crown Court.
Killer nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced to another whole life order for the attempted murder of an extremely premature baby. She was already serving 14 whole life orders after being convicted last year of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. However, the jury in her original trial had been unable to reach a verdict on the charge that she also attempted to murder a premature baby, known as Child K, in February 2016.
She had deliberately dislodged the breathing tube in an attempt to kill her. 'Staff at the unit had to think the unthinkable - that one of their own was deliberately harming and killing babies in their care. 'Letby dislodged the tube a further two times over the following few hours in an attempt to cover her tracks and suggest that the first dislodgment was accidental. These were the actions of a cold-blooded, calculated killer.
