A nurse who worked on a special unit for premature babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital in the north of England has been convicted of the murder of seven infants and the attempted murder of another six.

Lucy Letby, 33, had denied any involvement in the deaths but the trial at Manchester Crown Court heard they all occurred at the hospital in Chester on dates and times between June 2015 and June 2016 when she was on shift.
