A mother, Nicola Tarran, was left in shock after discovering that baby killer Lucy Letby had taken care of her child just a day before being removed from the neonatal unit. Letby, who was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others in August of last year, is currently serving 14 life sentences. These horrific crimes were committed in the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire between June 2015 and June 2016, where Letby worked.
Tarran, who is 39 years old and from Flintshire, recently spoke to the BBC about her experience. She revealed that she was taken aback when she saw Letby's name on her daughter's medical records and immediately contacted the police. However, there was no evidence that Letby had caused any harm to her baby daughter, Emily, who was born prematurely and admitted to the neonatal unit on June 16.
Despite this, Tarran couldn't shake off her worries that Letby may have had a hand in her daughter's health issues. Emily, who is now a beautiful little girl, suffers from lung problems and severe sleep apnea. Tarran fears that these conditions could have been caused by Letby's actions. She recalled the moment she learned of Letby's involvement in her daughter's care and said, "My heart came out of my mouth. I felt physically sick thinking my daughter was in her [Letby's] hands."
Tarran also expressed her disappointment that she was not informed by anyone involved in Letby's investigation. She believes that parents should have been notified and stated, "It's always been in the back of our minds, 'What if?'" She added, "Finding out all these years later that our child was investigated and we didn't have a clue."
The investigation into Letby's actions is still ongoing, and Cheshire Constabulary has stated that they are reviewing all units where she worked. They have also reassured the public that if any medical concerns are identified during the review, the relevant families will be contacted by the investigation team. The Countess of Chester Hospital has also been contacted for a statement.
Letby's case is set to be heard by a panel of judges at a public hearing on April 25, as she appeals her convictions. Initially, her appeal was turned down by a judge, but she is now entitled to a full court hearing to argue her right to appeal. This case has caused shock and outrage throughout the country, and the public is eager to see justice served.
