Former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby was caught ‘virtually red-handed’ by a doctor as she displaced the breathing tube of a premature baby girl, prosecutors allege.

Letby, 34, is accused of a single offence of the attempted murder of a baby girl, known as Child K, on February 17 2016. In August last year she was convicted of the murder of seven ‘very young’ babies and the attempted murder of six others, whilst she worked as a neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Lucy Letby retrial updates as former nurse accused of attempted murder of baby girl - RECAP Jurors were unable to reach verdicts on a count of attempted murder and Letby is now facing a retrial at Manchester Crown Court.

Opening the case to the jury, prosecutor Nick Johnson KC said that her previous convictions and her status as a ‘multiple murderer’ is an important piece of evidence when jurors consider whether she was ‘trying to kill’ Child K.

Before February 17 2016, Mr Johnson said Letby had already murdered five children and attempted to murder three others – including two attempts on one baby girl – on various dates between June 2015 and October 2015.

COVID-19 variants identified in the UK – latest updates
UKHSA) has published its containing updated analysis of the emergent variant BA.2.86.BA.2.86 continues to transmit within the UK, with sporadic cases identified in most regions.The briefing contains early laboratory data from a number of scientific organisations around the UK, including UKHSA’s own Vaccine Development and Evaluation Centre (VDEC), the University of Oxford, the Glasgow Centre of Virus Research and the Pirbright Institute.This early data indicates that BA.2.86 is no more likely to evade existing antibodies than XBB.1.5, another variant that has been circulating widely in the UK.While the available data remains limited, there is currently no evidence to suggest that BA.2.86 infection is more likely to make people seriously ill than currently-circulating variants, while vaccination is likely to provide continued protection.UKHSA will continue to monitor vaccine effectiveness in the population throughout the winter and will publish updated analysis in due course.Professor Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Advisor, UKHSA said:While this is still very early data and more research is needed before we can be certain, it is encouraging to see an initial indication that BA.2.86 demonstrates similar levels of antibody escape compared to other variants circulating in the UK. The available data is too limited to draw conclusions about the severity of the illness it causes, but there is so far no evidence to suggest that it is more likely to make people seriously ill than other Omicron variants in circulation.The autumn vaccination programme started this month, and this new data shows once again how important it is that the most vulnerable among us are fully vaccinated in order to receive the greatest possible protection.
