Letby 'boyfriend' doctor named as court order lifted
The review examines testimony from a married doctor whose messages and resuscitation evidence helped prosecutors at trial.
- Consultant Mark Deakin, who testified in the trial of serial killer Lucy Letby, has been named for the first time following his death in July after a court anonymity order was lifted.
- Deakin was dismissed for gross misconduct from Alder Hey Children's Hospital earlier this year after breaching patient confidentiality in text message exchanges with Letby about infants.
- During Letby's trial, Deakin testified he had been "misled and maybe manipulated" by the nurse into sharing information about infants she had attacked, claiming he was tricked by her.
- Letby is currently serving 15 whole-life orders for her convictions while the Criminal Cases Review Commission reviews her case and the Cheshire Coroner's Court investigates Deakin's death.
- The Thirlwall Inquiry and Criminal Cases Review Commission continue examining systemic failures at the Countess of Chester Hospital, with inquiry findings expected to be published on September 15.
