Former Nurse Lucy Letby Denies Tampering With Baby's Breathing Tube

Lucy Letby is on trial for the alleged attempted murder of a premature baby.

Former nurse Lucy Letby is currently on trial in Manchester Crown Court for the alleged attempted murder of a premature baby known as 'Baby K' back in February 2016. Letby, who was previously convicted for the murders of seven babies and the attempted killing of six others, denied tampering with the infant's breathing tube despite prosecutors claiming she was caught 'virtually red-handed.'

During the trial, Letby refuted the accusations, stating that she did not harm the baby and pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her. The prosecution alleges that Letby displaced the infant's endotracheal tube, leading to a decline in the baby's blood oxygen levels while she was working at the neonatal unit.
