She was found guilty of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit, where she worked as a nurse, between June 2015 and June 2016.

Child killer Lucy Letby has renewed her bid for permission to appeal against her convictions, claiming the trial judge was wrong to refuse four of her applications. Letby, 34, was sentenced to 14 whole-life orders last August after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six others. She was convicted of committing the offences at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit, where she worked as a nurse, between June 2015 and June 2016.

She has put forward four grounds of appeal, in each of which she claims the trial judge wrongly refused an application made on her behalf during the trial. If the Court of Appeal judges decline to give permission, it will mark the end of the appeal process for Letby.
