In the wake of Lucy Letby’s conviction for murdering and attempting to murder infants, three former senior leaders at the Countess of Chester Hospital have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. The arrests, which occurred on Monday, are part of an investigation into the hospital’s leadership and decision-making during the period when Letby’s crimes occurred.
