The re-trial of former nurse Lucy Letby is due to get underway at Manchester Crown Court this week

Letby is accused of attempting to murder a premature baby girl known as Baby K February 2016 after the jury at the original trial last year  could not agree on a verdict

Letby was convicted last August of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

The 34-year-old was sentenced to 14 whole life terms in prison.

Last month Letby lost an appeal against her convictions after three senior judges rejected claims that she was wrongly refused legal applications during her trial.

The retrial is expected to last for up to four weeks
