The 32-year-old will go on trial at Manchester Crown Court
Lucy Letby will face charges that she murdered five boys and two girls, and attempted to murder five boys and five girls, between June 2015 and June 2016. The 32-year-old is said to have gone on a year-long killing spree while working in the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester.
Letby, of Arran Avenue, Hereford, denies all of the allegations. A court order prohibits reporting of the identities of surviving and deceased children allegedly attacked by Letby, and prohibits identifying the parents or witnesses connected with the children.
