Killer Letby inflicts more pain on victims' families

SERIAL killer Lucy Letby is seeking to appeal against her convictions for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six more.

Last month Letby, 33, was sentenced to a rare whole-life jail term.

But her legal team has lodged an application for permission to appeal, according to the Court of Appeal Criminal Division.

Typically, such applications are considered by a judge without a hearing. If permission is refused, prisoners can renew their bid at a court hearing before two or three judges.
