Convicted child killer Lucy Letby appeared in court Tuesday on an attempted murder charge. Prosecutors say she intentionally interfered with a premature baby's breathing tube.
Former nurse Lucy Letby has denied tampering with a premature baby's breathing tube in an attempt to murder the child, though prosecutors say that she was caught 'virtually red-handed.' Lucy Letby is on trial in Manchester Crown Court for the attempted murder of a baby known as 'Baby K' while working the night shirt at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit on Feb. 17, 2016.
Letby is accused of displacing the infant's endotracheal tube less than two hours after she was born on February 17, 2016. But in court on Tuesday, Letby told jurors that she did 'nothing to harm ' The Guardian reported, and that she was 'not guilty of what was found guilty.' A senior doctor, Dr. Ravi Jayaram, caught Letby 'virtually red-handed' when he walked into the nursery's intensive care room around 3:45 a.m. that evening, prosecutors say.
