More criminal charges being considered over baby deaths at Lucy Letby hospitals

Cheshire Constabulary arrested three senior leaders from the Countess of Chester Hospital on June 30, 2025, for suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
These arrests are part of an ongoing investigation, initiated in October 2023, into corporate manslaughter related to infant fatalities and medical incidents at hospitals where Lucy Letby was employed.
Detectives have submitted additional evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service concerning new allegations related to infant deaths and non-fatal incidents at the neonatal units of hospitals in Chester and Liverpool.
A CPS spokesperson confirmed that they have obtained all relevant materials from Cheshire Constabulary and will review them thoroughly to decide if additional criminal charges are warranted.
The ongoing investigation and possible new charges do not alter Letby’s existing sentence of 15 whole-life orders for the killings of multiple infants and the attempted killings of others between 2015 and 2016, while a public inquiry is expected to publish its findings in early 2026.
