THE jury in the trial of baby murder-accused nurse Lucy Letby has resumed deliberations.

Letby, 33, denies murdering seven babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit and attempting to murder 10 more.

The jury of eight women and four men are entering their second day of deliberations, after trial judge Mr Justice James Goss concluded his summing up of the case on Monday.

After nine months of hearing evidence, the jurors must now consider verdicts on the 22 charges Letby faces.

The 22 charges are seven of murder, and 15 of attempted murder, which the prosecution allege happened at the neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016.

The judge told the jury of eight women and four men to approach their deliberations in a “fair, calm, objective and analytical way”.

He told them to cast aside emotion or any feelings of sympathy or antipathy.

Mr Justice Goss added: “You are under no pressure with time.”
