Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven premature babies and attempting to kill six more at The Countess of Chester Hospital – making her Britain’s most prolific child killer
The parents of a girl who nearly died shortly after she was born believe she was one of serial baby killer nurse Lucy Letby’s first victims.
Victoria and Mike Whitfield’s daughter Felicity suffered catastrophic lung collapse three days after being born prematurely at The Countess of Chester Hospital in November 2013.
Letby, 33, was yesterday convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six more, replacing Myra Hindley and Ian Brady as Britain’s most prolific-ever child killer.
Victoria saw a blonde woman – who she believes was Letby – standing over her baby’s cot before “all hell broke loose”. A chaplain was called for Felicity – who recovered and is now nine – to carry out an emergency baptism before she was miraculously revived at a second hospital.
