Currently, Lucy Letby is serving 15 life sentences in prison. In the recent developments of the case, a medical witness has come forward and shared that they were physically attacked by someone who had pro-Letby beliefs. This incident was reported to the police and is currently under investigation by the Cheshire Police, according to The Sunday Times. Another medical witness also revealed that they have been facing harassment and threats from supporters of Letby on social media. They are considering informing the authorities about this troubling situation.
For those who are not aware, Letby was convicted of killing seven newborn babies and attempting to murder six others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital. However, there have been doubts raised about the evidence presented during the trial, causing some to question her conviction. Letby's parents, Susan and John, strongly believe that their daughter is innocent and have called her conviction the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history. This has sparked anger among the parents of two babies, known as Baby E and Baby F, who were victims of Letby's actions at the hospital.
Baby E tragically lost their life after Letby caused an internal bleed and injected the baby with air. On the other hand, Baby F was one of the survivors of Letby's attempts to kill them with insulin. The twins were born through IVF, and their parents have spoken out against those who deny Letby's involvement in their children's deaths. They also pointed out that Letby's supporters were not present in court for the entire trial and did not hear all of the evidence.
Some of Letby's supporters have signed open letters calling for her convictions to be reexamined. However, they have refused to reveal their identities, claiming that it could jeopardize their careers. The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, has condemned the actions of Letby's supporters on LBC. He stated that it is insensitive and disrespectful to push for her release in such a public manner. He also reminded listeners that the matter is in the hands of the independent judiciary, which has a successful track record in delivering justice.
The Lucy Letby case is a part of The Thirlwall Inquiry, which is set to begin on Tuesday. The inquiry will investigate how the NHS failed to learn from previous incidents involving serial killers like Beverley Allitt and Harold Shipman. Barrister Sir Robert Francis KC will lead the inquiry, and solicitor Tamlin Bolton, who represents the families of six of Letby's victims, stated that the focus will be on examining the recommendations made in the past and how they were implemented. The families will also have the opportunity to submit their suggestions to prevent such tragedies from happening again in the future.
