A senior doctor has said she was "very surprised" to receive two emergency call-outs to a previously "stable" baby on the morning of the girl's death.
Ms Letby is charged with murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others between 2015 and 2016.Jurors at her Manchester Crown Court trial have been hearing evidence in relation to Ms Letby's third alleged murder victim. Dr Newby told the court that Child D needed assistance with her breathing shortly she was born but was clinically stable the following day.
Dr Newby noted, as have several other doctors and nurses, that Child D suffered "unusual" skin discolourations in the hours before her death."We didn't know what to make of them, to be honest. It was quite unusual. We felt it must be related to infection", she said.
