'As our enquiries have continued, the scope of the investigation has now widened'
Police investigating the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women's Hospital, where Lucy Letby committed murders and attempted murders, have broadened their investigation to include gross negligence manslaughter charges, in addition to corporate manslaughter. The investigation, called Operation Hummingbird, spans events between 2012 and 2016. Letby's convictions remain unaffected. Her legal team has submitted evidence to the Criminal Cases Review Commission in hopes of a case referral back to the Court of Appeal. A public inquiry into Letby's crimes will reconvene, with findings expected this autumn.
