The mother of a baby boy murdered by Lucy Letby has said she feels “betrayed on every level” at being “kept in the dark” by hospital managers about his death.

The mother of the infant who died at four days old, who can only be named as Child C, told the Thirlwall inquiry her family had been “misled” by executives in a way that had “compounded our grief”.
