Do they want to keep Lucy Letby locked up even after she's dead? I find it hard to see any other reason for quizzing her over more alleged killings, writes PETER HITCHENS

Daily Mail  

Do they want to keep Lucy Letby locked up in prison after she is dead? As John Sweeney pointed out in Saturday’s Daily Mail, the jury also didn’t know of the role of one of the key prosecution witnesses in the accidental death of a baby a year before Ms Letby’s alleged crimes began. Letby's mugshot after she was convicted of seven murders and six attempted murders of babies between 2015 and 2016 Strangest of all, Ms Letby’s defence never even called her strongest witness, Dr Mike Hall. After watching almost the entire trial, Dr Hall, a retired consultant neonatologist flatly told the authors of a new book, Unmasking Lucy Letby, that the nurse did not get a fair hearing. Richard Baker KC, representing the families of the babies who died or were allegedly harmed, presented the findings of an audit at Liverpool Women’s Hospital while Ms Letby was working there as a trainee.
