US EditionLucy Letby: Inquests to open into deaths of five babies murdered by former nurse
Coroner opens inquests into five infant deaths linked to Letby at Countess of Chester Hospital with hearings suspended pending public inquiry and further investigation.
- On February 4, the coroner opened inquests for babies C, E, I, O and P at Cheshire Coroners' Court, then adjourned proceedings pending the Thirlwall Inquiry.

- The CPS reviewed allegations involving nine children but declined further charges, while Cheshire Constabulary said it submitted files and believed the evidence met the standard; an investigation into hospital leadership continues with three former senior leaders at the Countess of Chester currently on bail.

- The documentary features interviews with victims' families and experts including Dr Shoo Lee and a 14-member international expert panel who challenge the prosecution's medical evidence.
