Convicted multiple murderer Lucy Letby has told a court she is “not the sort of person that kills babies” and she was “not guilty of what I was found guilty of”.

The former nurse, 34, is on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of the attempted murder of a baby girl, known as Child K, while she was working a night shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neo-natal unit on February 17 2016.
