Lucy Letby has denied tampering with a premature baby’s breathing tube twice to cover her tracks after a court heard she had been “caught cold” attempting to murder the infant.

Giving evidence for a second day at Manchester crown court, the former nurse told jurors she could not recall the events in question but said: “I did nothing to harm [the baby].”
