Lawyers for former executives at Countess of Chester Hospital have requested a halt to the public inquiry regarding Lucy Letby following emerging evidence that could challenge her guilt. They argued that the unexpected deaths of several infants might not have been due to intentional harm, but rather poor medical management or natural causes. The inquiry, initially launched after Letby was convicted of killing 14 babies, is now under scrutiny due to conflicting expert opinions suggesting that deaths might be attributed to non-homicidal factors.
"Ms. Blackwell said that new evidence suggests the babies that collapsed had not been intentionally harmed but died of other causes, indicating alternative explanations."
"To continue the inquiry without considering these alternative explanations defeats the very purpose of any public inquiry, which must fully understand the circumstances of these deaths."
