A 13,000-word New Yorker article on Lucy Letby that is blocked online in the UK but available in the magazine’s print edition has been discussed by the ­Attorney General’s Office and the Crown Prosecution Service.

Letby, a former neonatal nurse, is serving 14 whole-life prison terms after she was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others after a ten-month trial at Manchester crown court last year.

Letby, who worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital, has sought leave to appeal against her convictions. She is due to be retried next month on one charge of attempted murder, one of six on which the jury could not reach a verdict on last year.
