Three former bosses at hospital where Lucy Letby worked arrested over gross negligence manslaughter
Former bosses of killer nurse Letby arrested for gross negligence manslaughter at hospital where nurse killed babies. The three suspects, who worked as senior staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital, were arrested following an investigation into potential corporate manslaughter opened in 2023. The case is separate from Letby's 2023 convictions for murder and attempted murder; she is serving life in prison for targeting babies at the hospital's neonatal unit. Cheshire Police are also investigating deaths at other hospitals where Letby trained, and Letby maintains her innocence with a pending review application by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
