Hospital Executives Arrested in Connection to Lucy Letby Case

British police have arrested three senior leadership team members from Cheshire's Countess of Chester Hospital. The arrests relate to potential gross negligence manslaughter charges tied to Lucy Letby, a nurse convicted of murdering multiple newborns. The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into institutional and individual culpability.

British police have taken into custody three senior members from the hospital where convicted nurse Lucy Letby worked. The hospital staff's arrests are linked to suspicions of gross negligence manslaughter following Letby's murders.

Letby, jailed after killing seven and attempting to murder eight newborns between 2015 and 2016, is Britain's most notorious modern-day child killer. Her conviction prompted an investigation into potential corporate manslaughter by the hospital.

Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes confirmed the arrests of former senior leadership team members at the Countess of Chester Hospital. These individuals have been released on bail as inquiries continue.
