Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted at Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.
The convictions of child serial killer Lucy Letby have been branded “one of the major injustices of modern times” as her legal team continued its campaign protesting her innocence. Her case will be reviewed by the Criminal Cases Review Commission , which investigates potential miscarriages of justice, after Letby’s lawyers made an application to the body on Monday.
Retired medic Dr Shoo Lee, who co-authored a 1989 academic paper on air embolism in babies, then presented the findings of a panel of 14 experts who said they had compiled an “impartial evidence-based report”. He told the press conference that the panel’s thoughts were with the families of the babies who died.
Dr Lee was also critical of the care provided at Countess of Chester Hospital. He told journalists: “We did not find any murders. In all cases, death or injury were due to natural causes or just bad medical care.” Dr Lee said he has recently updated his academic paper and found no cases of skin discolouration linked to air embolism by the venous system.
A CCRC spokesperson said: “We are aware that there has been a great deal of speculation and commentary surrounding Lucy Letby’s case, much of it from parties with only a partial view of the evidence. “At this stage it is not possible to determine how long it will take to review this application. A significant volume of complicated evidence was presented to the court in Ms Letby’s trials.
