Three senior leaders from Britain's Countess of Chester Hospital have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter amid an investigation into infant deaths linked to Lucy Letby's crimes, highlighting systemic issues at the hospital during 2012-2016.
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.

Nurse Lucy Letby, the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times, is set to be sentenced after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Letby, who injected babies with air, force fed them milk, and poisoned two infants with insulin, refused to appear in court for the hearing. The trial, which lasted over 10 months, is believed to be the longest murder trial in the UK. The government has ordered an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the baby murders.

Letby was found guilty of murdering five boys and two girls between 2015 and 2016. The hospital is facing criticism for its handling of the case, including delaying the involvement of police and forcing doctors to apologize to Letby. Letby is expected to receive a mandatory life sentence.
