Nurse Lucy Letby accused of murdering seven babies breaks down as doctor gives evidence at trial
A NURSE accused of murdering seven babies broke down in tears yesterday as a doctor gave evidence at her trial.
Lucy Letby, who had been calm throughout the 16-week case, was led to cells to compose herself.
She broke down as a paediatrician, who cannot legally be named, began to give evidence.
It was about Baby L — one of twins Letby is alleged to have injected with insulin at a Chester hospital.
Letby wiped tears away with tissues from a box and sipped some water at Manchester crown court.
Judge James Goss asked a defence solicitor to check on her.
A lawyer then spoke to her through a glass screen.
Letby, 33, of Hereford, denies murdering seven babies and attempting to kill ten.
Trial continues.
