The 34-year-old is on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of the attempted murder of a baby girl, known as Child K. It comes after she was convicted last August of the murders of seven babies.

Lucy Letby - the former nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to murder six others while working in a hospital neonatal unit - has told a court she is 'not the sort of person that kills babies' and was 'not guilty of what I was found guilty of'. The 34-year-old is facing a retrial over the 2016 attempted murder of a baby girl, known as Child K, by dislodging the infant's breathing tube.

' Mr Myers went on: 'Do you accept that you have ever tried to harm any baby in your care?' She replied: 'No.' Letby told the jury of six women and six men she could not remember any incident with Child K and Dr Jayaram walking into the room. Asked by Nick Johnson, for the prosecution, about the tube, Letby said: 'I know my actions and I know I didn't displace that tube.
