Letby is serving life in jail after being found guilty of murdering seven newborns and attempting to murder eight more between June 2015 and June 2016 while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital (CoCH) in northern England.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
LONDON, Sept 15 - A British public inquiry concluded on Tuesday that hospital managers could have prevented nurse Lucy Letby killing more babies in her care had they taken action against her sooner.
In her report, Lady Justice Thirlwall said there had been a 'complete failure' to protect babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Letby was moved on to administrative duties in July 2016 after consultants expressed concerns about her to the hospital's executive team.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is investigating her case to determine if there is a “real possibility” her convictions would not be upheld, which could trigger a referral back to the appeal courts.
