Former nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of trying to kill a premature baby girl.
The 34-year-old was convicted by a jury at Manchester Crown Court of attempting to murder a child referred to in court as Baby K.
Last August, the 34-year-old was convicted by a different jury of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others at
the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neo-natal unit between June 2015 and June 2016.
However, a verdict on the allegation relating to Baby K could not be reached, and a retrial was ordered on the single count.
The retrial jury found her guilty of trying to murder the “very premature” infant by dislodging her breathing tube in the early hours of February 17 2016.
In court, prosecutor Nick Johnson KC read out part of Mr Justice Goss’s sentencing remarks from Letby’s first trial.
Letby had refused to come up to the dock to hear them upon her conviction last year.
