TL;DR Summary

A former UK neonatal nurse, Lucy Letby, who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of seven babies and attempting to kill six others, will face a retrial on a charge of attempting to murder a newborn baby girl. The jury in her previous trial was unable to reach verdicts on six counts of attempted murder. Letby was accused of deliberately harming the babies through various methods, including injecting air into their bloodstreams and interfering with their breathing tubes. The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed their intention to pursue a retrial on one of the outstanding charges, while not seeking retrials on the other five counts.
