Reportedly, between June 2015 and July 2016, a lot of baby babies suddenly died at Countess of Chester Hospital in England. Ravi Jayaram was the first to tell the hospital authorities about this. He and his coworkers then complained about neonatal nurse Lucy Letby. However, Lucy was smart, and they could not catch her at first. During the initial inquiries, Ravi Jayaram was asked by the hospital authorities to apologise to her because they did not find anything against her. Later, more babies got sick under the supervision of Lucy, and this kept happening. In April 2017, the National Health Service (NHS) allowed doctors to speak with a police officer. After that, they started looking into the strange deaths. Letby was taken into custody in July 2018 and was accused of a crime in November 2020. ^[4]The Week

According to media reports, Lucy Letby poisoned some babies with insulin, and she put air into their blood. She tried to kill more babies by giving them too much milk via nasogastric tubes, which made them suddenly sick for no clear reason. On 21 August 2023, she was sentenced by the Manchester Crown Court.
