Mother of murdered baby tells hospital to apologise over Letby

The Thirlwall inquiry was told yesterday that Child D, a premature newborn girl, was in a good condition before she was attacked three times by Letby overnight at the Countess of Chester hospital in 2015.

Letby, 34, is serving a whole-life prison term after being convicted of murdering Child D and six other babies, and attempting to kill seven others, following two trials at Manchester crown court.

The mother of Child D told the inquiry into the killings that her life "crumbled" when her two-day-old daughter died on the hospital's neonatal unit in the early hours of 22 June 2015. Giving evidence yesterday, she described how she felt she was losing her mind as she demanded the medical notes and pushed for investigations into her daughter's death.

"My husband was extremely worried because I was asking too many questions and requesting notes and I was investigating and going to the police and I felt I was losing my mind," she told the inquiry chair, Lady Justice Thirlwall.
