'Killer hiding in plain sight' – The Trial of Lucy Letby: The Inside Story

The Daily Mail’s Liz Hull was one of the only journalists in court every day for the trial of Lucy Letby, who faced 22 charges of murder and attempted murder of babies in her care. Liz, together with broadcast journalist Caroline Cheetham produced the groundbreaking podcast The Trial of Lucy Letby, which brought to life the trial as it happened. In this documentary, Liz and Caroline reveal the shocking inside story of what really happened in the courtroom, as Britain’s most prolific child killer was brought to justice. Her crimes make her the most prolific child murderer in modern British history. The 33-year-old attacked her tiny victims ‘in plain sight’ – injecting air into their bloodstreams or feeding tubes, causing them to collapse and die. She was also convicted of trying to murder six other newborns by poisoning them with insulin, overfeeding them milk, tampering with their breathing tubes or assaulting them. Manchester Crown Court was told that doctors at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire repeatedly went to managers to try to blow the whistle but their concerns were dismissed. It wasn’t until the deaths of two identical triplets in 23 hours in June 2016 that Letby was finally removed from the ward and the unexpected deaths and collapses stopped.
