KILLER nurse Lucy Letby's lawyers are to launch a fresh appeal bid, claiming an expert witness has changed his mind about how three of the babies died and one was accidentally killed by a doctor.
Letby, 34, is serving a whole-life term for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven more. And in a move that will bring more upset for the victims' families, Letby's barrister, Mark McDonald, yesterday said he was launching a new appeal bid.
