A baby allegedly murdered by children's nurse Lucy Letby had "extraordinary" patches of discoloured skin before dying - which a doctor had never seen before.Letby is in Manchester Crown Court accused of the murder of seven babies and attempted murder of ten more. She denies all charges.
"There was very unusual patchiness on his skin which I had not seen before. There were patches of blue/purple colour, patches of red and of white that didn't fit. Child A died shortly after 9pm that night. The prosecution says Letby injected a fatal amount of air into Child A's bloodstream within 90 minutes of coming on duty.
He said it was "something I only picked up later" when similar further incidents with babies took place at the hospital. The jury has been told Child A did not have intravenous fluids for up to four hours on June 8 before he received glucose through a "long line" plastic tube at 8.05pm, co-signed by Letby and fellow nurse Melanie Taylor.Earlier on the shift, a cannula to a blood vessel stopped working, followed by two attempts to correctly insert a catheter in the belly button, which failed.
He later queried in his contemporaneous notes whether the procedure could be linked to Child A's death.
