Lucy Letby responded to the death of a newborn baby in a manner that a children’s nurse said she had “never seen” before or since, a public inquiry has been told.
Letby was heard discussing in an “excited” way the death of two triplet babies in 24 hours in June 2016. Nicola Lightfoot, the deputy children’s ward manager at the Countess of Chester hospital, said she heard Letby say in an animated way to a colleague immediately after the second death: “You’ll never guess what just happened.”
