Giving evidence at the Thirlwall Inquiry, the woman told how she heard screaming and crying like “I’d never really heard” as she walked toward the neo-natal unit at Countess of Chester Hospital to provide milk. She was also convicted of attempting to murder seven more, including Baby E’s twin brother, Baby F. Recalling the incident, the mother told the inquiry: “As I was coming to the unit along the corridor I could hear screaming and crying and it was a shock because I’d never really heard. For me, that hurts because I don’t know if it was intentional, but it felt intentional.” The mother told the inquiry how hours before her son had died, she remembered Letby appeared unable to make eye contact with her as she stood by the baby when she discovered him crying.
