THE trial of Countess of Chester Hospital nurse Lucy Letby, who denied murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 more between June 2015 and June 2016, lasted over 10 months.

The jury at Manchester Crown Court - where the trial took place - began hearing evidence in October 2022.

The jury was sent out on July 10, 2023, and - after one juror was discharged for personal reasons - the remaining 11 jurors found Letby guilty on 14 of the 22 counts.

They found her guilty on all seven baby murder charges, and seven counts of attempting to murder six more babies. Letby was found not guilty on two counts, and jurors were unable to reach verdicts on six counts.

Here is the story from Friday, August 18, when the jury announced it could not reach any more verdicts, having provided verdicts over the previous 10 days:
