She is said to have tried to kill a twin baby boy, Child F, by poisoning him with insulin a day after murdering his brother.Crown Court has heard Letby contaminated two bags of nutritional feed given to him intravenously. Jurors have been told a blood sample taken when the second bag was in use later revealed a ‘biological fingerprint’ which showed synthetic insulin was present – when none was prescribed.
‘It involves getting a syringe and the bag, drawing up the insulin and injecting it without arising suspicion and getting caught. He told jurors the evidence was that the overnight TPN bag – which lasts up to 48 hours – had to be replaced at noon later that day when Child F’s cannula came out. Mr Myers said: ‘So even if somebody guessed that a maintenance bag may be needed in an unexpected way, they are not to know what bag would be taken.
