Lucy Letby news - latest: Hospital bosses 'should be investigated for corporate manslaughter'

The prosecution’s lead medical expert in the Lucy Letby case has said hospital executives who failed to act on concerns about the serial killer nurse should be investigated for corporate manslaughter.

Serial killer, Letby, 33, was convicted of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six newborns at Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016.

Retired consultant paediatrician Dewi Evans says he will write to Cheshire Constabulary to ask it to investigate hospital bosses for corporate manslaughter and criminal negligence, the Observer reported...

It comes as the former chair of the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust claimed that the board was “misled” by hospital executives.

Kill so many victims. Hospital administrations are purposely obtuse because they don't want people to find out their nurses are murdering their patients.

So, the would just rather move the angel of death to another hospital then to prosecute. Much like the Catholic Church hides pedophile priests.
