KILLER nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of the attempted murder of a baby girl.
Letby, 34, was convicted at Manchester Crown Court last August by another jury of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit, between June 2015 and June 2016.
A verdict on the allegation concerning a baby girl, known as Child K, could not be reached last August, and a retrial at the same court was ordered on that single count.
Yesterday, Letby was convicted by a fresh jury of trying to murder the “very premature” infant by dislodging her breathing tube in the early hours of February 17, 2016.
Letby targeted Child K after the infant was moved from the delivery room to the neo-natal unit shortly after her premature birth.
The youngster, born after 25 weeks of gestation and weighing just 692 grams, was said by the prosecution to be the “epitome of fragility”.
