Nurse Lucy Letby Loses Baby Killer Appeal Despite New Yorker Investigation

A British nurse considered to be one of the U.K.’s most prolific child serial killers in modern times has been refused permission to appeal her convictions over the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of another six.

Lucy Letby on Friday lost her latest attempt to seek to overturn the convictions in a decision taken by England and Wales’ Court of Appeal. The 34-year-old was found guilty in August of fatally attacking children in her care at a neonatal unit at a hospital in northwest England between 2015 and 2016.
