A doctor who was accused of being a “crush” of child serial killer nurse Lucy Letby has been named after reporting restrictions were lifted following his death two months ago.
Consultant paediatrician Dr Mark Deakin was granted lifelong anonymity ahead of giving evidence in Letby’s trial, where she was convicted of a string of murders and attempted murders of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
