[A female healthcare worker has been arrested on suspicion of murdering eight babies and attempting to murder another six.
Police said the arrest followed an ongoing investigation of the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital, which got under way after several babies died at the hospital.
Officers were initially looking at the deaths of 15 infants between June 2015 and June 2016 when the investigation was launched in May last year]

This is terrible news

That "healthcare worker" is a nurse. This is the NHS being obstructive as ever. I'm pleased this story is out. The NHS, for all the great work it does, closes ranks under accusation.

[Vicky.]

Oh this is so awful..just why on earth would someone do this..

[Livia]

It was bad enough hearing about the doctor who killed all those elderly people and was repremanded, but not struck off. But to hear of someone killing babies... I can't get my head around it.

Yeah I just said that to Gavin..like..its not as bad when its adults they are killing, but babies in the neonatal unit..who are already chance to be fighting for their lives (neonatal is where the seriously premature babies go right?)..its just unthinkable really.

I remember her! Pure evil.

[Amy Jade]

I have loads of mutual friends with her on facebook. This is so messed up, I will never understand how anyone could want to harm an innocent baby.

I can't see much of her page but my friend said she was always sharing posts about baby care units and the NHS and how nurses need support. Sick bitch.

[LaLaLand]

Innocent until proven guilty, yet social media want her head.

Will hold my opinion until we know more.

[Nicky91]

this story is very disturbing, who would even want to kill poor innocent babies

[LaLaLand]

She's been released on bail.

Why? They don't have 100% hard evidence to charge her or they clearly would have with the number of deaths.

That's what worried me yesterday when watching the news reports, the frequent use of the word 'suspected'. You shouldn't be allowed to broadcast someones face all over the television and the internet next to such severe accusations unless they've been charged and convicted. If she's innocent, she'll never be able to move on from this.

I agree, her identity should only be revealed if and when she's charged in a court of law.

-If- she's innocent and this is somehow one big mix-up or misunderstanding, her life is absolutely over.

It is time that the law was changed to prevent this from happening, Richard. It is wrong and unfair.

It’s early days - she’s been arrested not charged - nevermind found guilty. Let’s not do a trial by newspaper shall we.

You read and hear of lots of horrible crimes but it's cases like this I find hardest to understand, even where wrong doing is proved you think surely not because it seems to unbelievable that anyone would set out to hurt babies.

Exactly, and it isn't just one baby she's accused of harming or killing ( which would still be horrible) , but 8 BABIES!!! . And it only seems to be her they've accused , they must of had a serious suspicion about her ! .

She was rearrested a few days ago, three new potential attempted murders...

A nurse has been rearrested by police investigating the deaths of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit.

Lucy Letby was first arrested in July last year on suspicion of the murder of eight babies and the attempted murder of another six.

She has now been rearrested in connection with the attempted murder of three additional babies, police said.

Cheshire Police are probing the deaths of 17 infants between 2015 and 2016.

The force launched an investigation two years ago and officers are also investigating 16 non-fatal collapses at the neonatal unit during the same period of March 2015 to July 2016.

Ms Letby, originally from Hereford, had been on bail since July after her home in Chester was searched by police.

A spokesman for the Countess of Chester Hospital said it was "co-operating fully" with the investigation.

Det Insp Paul Hughes said the investigation was "extremely challenging" and that parents of all the babies were being kept fully updated.

"We fully appreciate that it continues to have a big impact on all those involved - including the families of the babies, staff and patients at the hospital as well as members of the public," he said.

"This is an extremely difficult time for all the families and it is important to remember that, at the heart of this, there are a number of bereaved families seeking answers as to what happened to their children."
