Child serial killer Lucy Letby is planning to launch a fresh appeal with a new legal team, her barrister has said, according to the BBC.

The former nurse was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of seven others, with two attempts on one child, when she worked on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
