these are new pictures from offices' body cameras that cheshire police have shared with the media atial. they have also talked about the interview process. of course, as we were saying, this has been a nine—month trial with thousands of pages of evidence, and around about 30 hours of interviews that were carried out between police detectives and lucy letby, and the police have also released this small clip, a very small part of one of those interviews. as we were saying, just a very small excerpt of one of the 30 hours or so of interviews that were carried out with lucy letby, but i think a crucial moment to see and to hear just there, because that was when she was being asked about problems in the hospital, the mortality rate, and as we have been sang, one of the things that first raised concerns was the increased mortality rate at the countess of chester hospital, which until lucy letby began working there in the neonatal unit, has been essentially an average number of child deaths in a unit like that, where you are dealing with the most premature babies, a certain number sadly do

detective superintendent paul hughes was the chief investigating officer on the case for cheshire policemany hours interviewing lucy letby. he explained what he made of what police found. lucy letby is clearly the person who keeps things. she kept, obviously medical records. she kept handover sheets. she kept electronic devices and photographs. she kept diaries. very detailed diaries and notes and pages of notes, which surprised me because lucy would have been aware that we were going to come and speak to her at some point. so it was surprising that when we did go and knock on her door and say, arrest her, we effectively invited her in with us, but in that first arrest to conduct a search and to see if there's any evidence that could take us in support of what we've seen or in support of her. and then to obtain evidence by questioning. because she is the one that could effectively, from our perspective in investigation, she's the one that could take it further than anyone else because she'd been there more than anyone else. so we were very keen to understand what she was going to say. bu

the neonatal unit at the countess of cheshire hospital deals with very premature babies, some of which not have been expected to survive. in the case of these babies, these were very often babies who were doing as well as can be expected at the time, and one feature of the all of these cases together was the fact that often in the medical notes the babies were described as doing well, and then there would have the sudden and then there would have the sudden and unexplained collapses, which it later became apparent that lucy letby was the common factor behind that, because she had injected air into the bloodstream of some of these babies. other she had overfed with milk or liquid. in some cases she posted the babies with insulin. it was only when a pattern began to emerge, a patent that we now know since the conclusion of this trial, that medics had spotted. they had taken it to management at the countess of chester hospital and management had not responded. this is one of the big questions that will continue to be asked, why when a group of medics said they had concerns about lucy letb
