Some babies died avoidably at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The evidence that they died of accidental harm appears to be far stronger than the evidence that they died of deliberate harm. And yet the coroner didn’t spot either. Why not? My column in @PrivateEyeNews today.

"While Letby remains out of sight, she's never far from the public mind." The latest issue of @GraziaUK provides a brief synopsis of the most recent developments in the Letby case, with particular focus on the revelations from former senior coroner's officer Stephanie Davies.

And here’s our piece channel4.com/news/lucy-letb…

"One piece of evidence, about a baby described in court documents as Baby O, stood out for Davies, because it was never reported to the coroner at the time of death." The procedure in question, per Davies, was a cannula inserted into Baby O's abdomen: youtube.com/watch?app=desk…
