Lucy Letby: Did She Really Kill These Babies?


Listen Later

A neonatal unit descends into crisis as accusations of murder, medical error, and systemic failure collide around nurse Lucy Letby.

This episode examines the events inside the Countess of Chester’s neonatal unit, where unexplained collapses and conflicting evidence fuelled one of the NHS’s most divisive scandals. We explore the debates over air embolisms, ventilator failures, and hospital negligence while asking whether this tragedy points to deliberate harm or a system buckling under pressure.

Topics include

  • The Countess of Chester neonatal incidents
  • Conflicting medical interpretations
  • Air-embolism and ventilator-error debates
  • Allegations of hospital negligence
  • Questions around possible miscarriage of justice
