"Among the cases at Liverpool that Cheshire police has asked expert medical witnesses to examine is the case of one baby born in October 2012. Medical notes reviewed by the experts record that the baby’s chest drain was dislodged once on October 26, twice on October 27 and once on October 29. The child’s breathing tube also fell out on October 29. Letby was on duty on all the days."
"In another case examined by the expert witnesses, a premature baby born at Liverpool collapsed in November 2012 after water from the ventilator circuit went down the baby’s endotracheal tube. The experts concluded that the reason for the presence of water in the tube was unexplained. Letby was again on duty."
“Any allegations need to be taken seriously, so we are only surprised by the timing of this new leak from the police, given that there is now substantial information that undermines Lucy Letby’s convictions.
“Lucy voluntarily attended an interview; she was not arrested. Lucy continues to maintain her innocence and, as she has said throughout, she has never and would never harm any child. The continuing leaking and briefing of information in this case by the police since the investigation began in 2017 is deeply concerning and needs to stop. Everybody is entitled to a fair hearing and right now the police are arguably preventing this from taking place.”
BIB - yet no application to the CCRC? What’s stopping him? What hearing are the police disrupting? If she wasn’t arrested or charged then there is nothing getting in his way of continuing her application to the CCRC surely. I look forward to hearing this substantial new information.
Honestly he’s disgraceful.
