{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Lucy Letby: Babies Stopped Breathing on Her Shifts — Chapter 1","description":"The Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit was a place designed to save the most fragile lives on earth. Between June 2015 and June 2016, according to the verdict of a jury, it became a killing ground.\n\nLucy Letby joined the unit in 2012. For three years, nothing seemed unusual. Then infant deaths spiked to a level the hospital had never experienced. Three deaths in two weeks. Twins from the same family allegedly attacked on consecutive days. A mother who reportedly walked into the room during what prosecutors called an active attack and had no idea what she was seeing.\n\nThe prosecution laid out methods specifically designed to mimic natural complications of prematurity: air in the bloodstream, unnecessary insulin, forced overfeeding. And on every shift where a baby collapsed or died, one nurse was present. Every time. No exceptions.\n\nBut the questions don't end with the verdict. The doctors inside that hospital suspected Letby months before she was removed. They raised the alarm. Hospital management told them to stand down. And now, years after the conviction, an international panel of medical experts has reviewed every case and says they found no evidence of deliberate harm.\n\nThis is part one of a five-part Hidden Killers investigation into the Lucy Letby case. The ward. The institutional cover-up. The trial. The expert revolt. And the families who are still fighting for answers. This story has no clean ending, and that's exactly why it matters.\n\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\n\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
