Lucy Letby has been found guilty of seven child murders - but many questions are still to be answered
Yet many unanswered questions surround the case of the worst child serial killer in modern British history - including whether there could be a retrial, an appeal, a civil case against hospital bosses or fresh allegations stemming from a police review.
"A whole life term is for those prisoners whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public," he said. At this point, the inquiry does not have statutory powers. This means those in charge cannot compel witnesses to attend or to provide evidence.Health minister Helen Whately said the decision not to grant statutory powers meant the inquiry could be conducted "at pace".
"What comes with that are other damages that reflect pain and suffering of the family, psychological distress, and any smaller losses," Ms Bolton added.Detectives areof babies into neonatal units at two hospitals where Letby worked - Countess of Chester and Liverpool Women's Hospital. Should a retrial be ordered, it could further complicate the timelines of both the new police review and the independent inquiry.
