Beverley Allitt was convicted of four counts of murder, three of attempted murder and a further six of grievous bodily harm on children
The case of serial killer Beverley Allitt formed part of nurse Lucy Letby's training, a public inquiry has heard. The Thirlwall Inquiry, which will probe how Letby was able to attack babies on the Countess of Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit in 2015 and 2016, opened on Tuesday with a statement which referenced nurse Allitt, who attacked children at the Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, Lincolnshire, in 1991, and killer GP Harold Shipman.
She said: "Nevertheless, and distressingly, 25 years later another nurse working in another hospital killed and harmed babies in her care." The inquiry will look into the experiences of the parents of babies, the conduct of others working at the hospital and the culture and management in the wider NHS. Letby protested to the court: "I'm innocent", as she was led from the dock when she was sentenced in July to her 15th whole-life order after a jury convicted her at retrial of the attempted murder of a baby girl.
