Bosses at the hospital where Lucy Letby murdered babies didn't alert police to suspicions about her sooner because they 'never expected' a nurse could be responsible for the deaths, an inquiry heard. Body worn camera footage from Cheshire Constabulary of the arrest of Lucy Letby in 2018 A court artist's sketch of Lucy Letby giving evidence at Manchester Crown Court on July 24 And Ms Blackwell said it had not been simply up to them to safeguard patients at the hospital. Ms Blackwell said the former managers will tell the inquiry that - even as late as May 2016, two months before Lucy Letby was removed from working, no concerns were being raised about the deaths being unnatural or suspicious. A sign outside the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester Letby worked on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016 The investigation at Liverpool Town Hall will examine how Letby was able to attack babies on the Countess and Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit in 2015 and 2016 When that changed at the end of June, when two triplets were murdered on consecutive shifts, and the Board was finally informed, meetings about the spike in deaths and the link with Letby took place behind closed doors, away from public scrutiny, the inquiry has been told.
