Inquests into five babies murdered by Lucy Letby opened and adjourned
Inquests into five infant deaths linked to nurse Lucy Letby were opened and adjourned pending the Thirlwall public inquiry and evidential reviews, with hearings set for September.
- At a brief hearing in Warrington, inquests into the deaths of five babies—Baby C, Baby E, Baby I, Baby O and Baby P—were opened and adjourned after a 20-minute summary.
- At the Countess of Chester Hospital, inquests into five infant deaths from 2015 and 2016 were opened and adjourned, with prosecutors last month deciding not to pursue further charges.
- Ms Devonish suspended each of the five inquests until a review date on 5 May and provisionally scheduled hearings for September, dependent on the Thirlwall Inquiry.
- The Crown Prosecution Service said the evidential test had not been met in any cases, following police submissions about nine other children, two of whom died.
- The upcoming public inquiry, due after Easter, follows previous inquests into Baby A, which reached a narrative conclusion, and Baby D, which was suspended.
