Lucy Letby 'tried to kill 'resilient' baby girl four times before succeeding', murder trial hears
Lucy Letby allegedly tried to kill a baby girl four times before succeeding.A "cold-blooded" children's nurse smiled at the mum of a baby she murdered on the fourth attempt and sent sympathy card
Nick Johnson described the case of Child I - who despite being born weighing just 970g was healthy - as "an extreme example even by the standards of this overall case". Letby tried four times to kill the infant before succeeding on the fourth attempt, Mr Johnson said, describing the baby girl as "resilient".
Referring to the first incident, when Letby was designated nurse, Mr Johnson said the ICU chart shows she gave Child H a dose of morphine at 1.25am and saline at 2.50am. The following night, Child H's oxygen levels began to drop profoundly at 22.53pm and 3.30am after being "relatively stable" during the day shift.
