She was convicted in August of killing seven babies at the hospital where she worked.
LONDON: British nurse Lucy Letby, jailed for life for murdering seven babies at the hospital where she worked, will face a retrial over an accusation she had tried to kill another newborn, prosecutors said today.
However, the jury were unable to agree on six charges of attempted murder involving five other infants. “These decisions on whether to seek retrials on the remaining counts of attempted murder were extremely complex and difficult,” said Jonathan Storer, a chief crown prosecutor. After her conviction, Letby, said by the judge to have carried out a cruel, calculated campaign of murder with her actions bordering on sadism, was sentenced to a whole life term meaning she will never be released from prison.
