After Letby’s conviction, the baby’s family described having to endure a “long, torturous and emotional journey – twice”.

The court heard Letby had targeted the child on 17 February 2016 after she was moved from the delivery room to the neo-natal unit shortly after her birth.

The nurse, originally of Hereford, dislodged the baby’s breathing tube and stood by her incubator watching her blood oxygen levels drop, without intervening.

Consultant paediatrician Dr Ravi Jayaram caught her “virtually red-handed” as he entered the unit’s intensive care room at about 03:45.
