THE trial of former Countess of Chester Hospital nurse Lucy Letby, who is accused of multiple baby murders, has begun.

Lucy Letby, 32, faces charges that she murdered five boys and two girls, and attempted to murder another five boys and five girls, between June 2015 and June 2016.

Letby, of Arran Avenue, Hereford, is said to have committed the offences while working in the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital. She denies all the allegations. A prison van arrives at Manchester Crown Court, where the Lucy Letby murder trial is due to take place. Picture: PA. The defendant, wearing a dark suit, appeared in the dock on Tuesday as unreportable legal issues were aired. Her parents, John, 76, and Susan, 62, watched as proceedings were relayed to annexe courtrooms attended by families of the children involved and members of the press. A court order prohibits reporting of the identities of surviving and deceased children allegedly attacked by Letby, and prohibits identifying parents or witnesses connected with the children. The trial at Manchester Crown Court is estimated to last up to six months. The hearing has been adjourned until Thursday when legal argument is expected to take place.
