Convicted child serial killer Lucy Letby was compelled to hear part of the sentencing remarks she refused to listen to last year as they were read out ahead of her latest trial.

Former neo-natal nurse Letby, 34, refused to attend her sentencing at Manchester Crown Court after she was convicted in August of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others – with two attempts on one victim – at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

The mother of two of her victims said her absence was “one final act of wickedness” while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak branded Letby “cowardly” as he said the Government was looking at changing the law to force criminals to attend sentencing hearings.
