The murder of a baby girl at the hands of killer nurse Lucy Letby would have been prevented if there had been CCTV installed in the hospital nursery room, her mother has told a public inquiry.

Letby, 34, has been convicted of killing the tot, known as Child D, after attacking her three times in the early hours of June 22 2015 at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit, where she injected air into her bloodstream.

The Thirlwall Inquiry, which is looking into the events surrounding Letby's crimes, got underway last week. Today, its chair Lady Justice Thirlwall heard evidence from Child D's mother, who spoke movingly about the tragedy and her fight for answers afterwards.

Every hospital in England with a neonatal unit has been asked as part of the inquiry whether they have considered installing CCTV in the wake of Letby's killing spree in which she murdered seven infants and attempted to murder seven others.
