Lucy Letby searched Facebook for baby's surname two years after death

A nurse searched the surname of a dead baby she's accused of attempting to murder two years after she died.

Lucy Letby, 33, is standing trial accused of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of 10 others. She was first arrested in July 2018 on suspicion of attacking infants in her care - two years after she worked her last shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.

Letby told Manchester Crown Court she denies the charges. Today [Thursday, May 16] the court heard Letby is said to have deliberately dislodged Child K's breathing tube shortly before a consultant walked into nursery one at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.
