A panel of 14 medical experts has raised significant doubts about the evidence used to convict British nurse Lucy Letby, who was found guilty of murdering seven newborns and attempting to kill seven others.

Ongoing investigations are examining whether Letby harmed other infants at Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women's Hospital, with a focus on the care of approximately 4,000 babies admitted during her tenure.

The panel's investigation included specialists from various countries and was conducted independently, ensuring that their findings were objective regardless of the outcome.

A Facebook group dedicated to Letby celebrated her 35th birthday at a pub in Clapham on January 29, 2025, reflecting ongoing public interest in her case.

The panel emphasized that their findings are not intended to cause additional distress to the families of the victims, acknowledging the sensitive nature of the case.

Letby's case is now under review by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), following an application from her lawyers made on February 3, 2025.

The prosecution's case relied heavily on research by retired Canadian neonatologist Shoo Lee, particularly regarding symptoms of air embolism.

Psychological experts have suggested that Letby may exhibit traits of a 'covert narcissist', indicating a potential desire for attention and sympathy from her colleagues.

If the panel's findings are validated, they could reveal a miscarriage of justice and highlight severe issues within the British NHS healthcare system.

The CCRC has clarified that its role is to investigate potential miscarriages of justice without determining guilt or innocence, maintaining its independence throughout the process.

A public inquiry into the hospital's failures, which allowed repeated harm to infants, is set to conclude next month, focusing on accountability rather than the evidence used in Letby's conviction.

The Prime Minister's spokesman acknowledged the horrendous nature of the case while reiterating the importance of following established legal processes.
