Mum begged 'don't let my baby die' after alleged attack by nurse

A tearful mum begged 'please don't let my baby die' as medics tried to resuscitate him after an alleged attack by nurse Lucy Letby, a jury heard.

Letby, 32, is accused of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of 10 others while working in the neo-natal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital. The prosecution has begun introducing evidence at her trial in Manchester Crown Court.

The court has heard her first two alleged victims, named as Child A and Child B for legal reasons, suffered sudden collapses in their incubators during June 2015. Letby was on duty on both occasions.
