Investigation Launched into Hospital Following Deaths of Infants and Murder Convictions

The hospital where Lucy Letby, a former neonatal nurse, worked is under investigation for "corporate manslaughter" following the deaths of seven infants. Letby was previously convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England. The investigation will focus on senior leadership and decision-making during the period of Letby's charges. The probe is in its early stages, and no individuals are currently being investigated for gross negligence manslaughter. Letby is also seeking permission to appeal her convictions and is facing a retrial for an attempted murder allegation.

Air France and Airbus cleared of responsibility in 2009 Rio-Paris plane crash.

A French court has cleared Airbus and Air France of "involuntary manslaughter" charges over the 2009 crash of flight AF447 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, which killed 228 people. The judge listed four acts of negligence by Airbus and one by Air France but said these were not enough under French criminal law to establish a definitive link to the loss of the A330. Both companies remain responsible in civil terms for repairing damage inflicted by the crash and a new hearing has been scheduled for some outstanding claims.
