Police in the U.K. have arrested 3 former bosses from the hospital where nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of killing 7 infants.
Three former senior leaders at the British hospital where nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, police said Tuesday.
All three were part of the senior leadership team at the Countess of Chester Hospital in the northwest of England between 2015 and 2016, when Letby was found to have killed the babies and attempted to kill seven others.
Letby, 35, is serving 15 consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole, but there have been questions raised about the evidence used in her trial, and her lawyer has filed for a formal review of the case.
In October 2023, following Letby’s conviction, the Cheshire Constabulary police force launched an investigation into potential corporate manslaughter at the hospital, focusing on the decision-making of senior bosses, „to determine whether any criminality has taken place concerning the response to the increased levels of fatalities“, according to a Tuesday statement by Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes.
