Tearful Lucy Letby said ‘it’s always me when it happens’, court told

GP says it ‘seemed a pretty normal reaction’ amid series of collapses of infants at Chester hospital

A nurse accused of murdering seven babies was seen crying as she said something to the effect of “it’s always me when it happens”, a court has heard.

Lucy Letby, 33, is said to have made the remark amid a series of collapses of infants at the Countess of Chester hospital’s neo-natal unit. Letby denies murdering seven babies and attempting to kill 10 others between June 2015 and June 2016.
