Lucy Letby: Inquests to open into deaths of five babies murdered by former nurse
Inquests into five infant deaths linked to Letby will be suspended pending the Thirlwall Inquiry, with hearings provisionally set for September, amid ongoing legal reviews and public scrutiny.
- On February 4, Senior Coroner Jacqueline Devonish formally opened inquests into five infants known as Baby C, Baby E, Baby I, Baby O and Baby P at Cheshire Coroner's Court.
- Detective Inspector Darren Reid requested the inquests, saying there was `reason to suspect an unnatural death` after Cheshire Constabulary passed evidence last year linked to offences at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
- Hospital records shown in court detail Baby C's collapse at four days old with respiratory distress syndrome, Baby E's necrotising enterocolitis and cardiac arrest, and Baby O and Baby P's deterioration despite resuscitation.
- Full inquests have been pencilled in for September 14 to 25 this year, subject to the Thirlwall Inquiry, while Senior Coroner Jacqueline Devonish confirmed Mrs Justice Steyn's worldwide reporting restrictions remain effective.
- On February 4, Netflix released the 90-minute The Investigation of Lucy Letby featuring new arrest footage and testimony, as the CPS last month declined further charges despite Cheshire Constabulary's disagreement and expert panel challenges.
