I'm a bit confused about the number of deaths. Can anyone explain?
On the Panarama documentary it was confirmed that there were 13 deaths on the ward between June 2015 to July 2016 and Letby was present for all of them.
In Liz Hull's podcast and article she states that there were 9 deaths between January 2015 to July 2016 that Letby wasn't charged with because they were not suspicious. Letby was present for 2 of these unsuspicious deaths.
So there were 16 deaths in total between January 2015 to July 2016. If 3 of the deaths occured before June 2015 then the 13 deaths would match up but if what Liz Hull is saying is correct Letby would have been present for a max of 9 deaths not 13 (im guessing baby K is not included because she was transferred to Arrowe Park). This doesnt match up either what was said in court by Eiran Powell in court or the BBC documentary.
It also says in this article there were eight deaths in 2015 and five in 2016, so that's 13 mot 16.
