Killer nurse Lucy Letby denied trying to murder a premature baby by dislodging her breathing tube, claiming she couldn't remember the incident. She also mentioned the hospital being understaffed, which could have affected the care provided. Letby's trial at Manchester Crown Court involves accusations of displacing the tube of a baby girl, leading to a sudden deterioration in her condition. Witnesses, including a hospital consultant, testified about the events surrounding the baby's collapse and the lack of alarms going off. Letby was previously convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. The court heard conflicting testimonies about the events that transpired on the night of the incident, with questions raised about the staffing levels and the actions of the nursing staff. Dr. Jayaram, a consultant paediatrician, described finding Letby near the baby's ventilator as the infant's condition worsened. The trial continues with testimonies from various witnesses regarding the alleged attempts to harm the babies under Letby's care.
