Lucy Letby case: nurse ‘would not leave parents of dead newborn alone’

Child C, who was born prematurely, was the second of the seven babies Letby is accused of killing at Countess of Chester hospital

A nurse accused of murdering seven babies would not leave alone the parents of a newborn boy she allegedly killed until she was ordered to do so by her supervisor, a court has heard.

Lucy Letby is accused of murdering the infant days after he was born prematurely, weighing 800 grams, at the Countess of Chester hospital, on 10 June 2015. Child C is the second of the seven babies she is alleged to have killed at the hospital's neo-natal unit.
