Lucy Letby convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more.

Parents of twin boys, one murdered, the other attacked by the nurse.

Campaign to free Letby , serving 15 whole-life sentences, has been building.

Inquiry will begin into what happened at Countess of Chester Hospital , where Letby worked.

Lucy Letby was convicted of attempted murder of a premature infant, known as Baby K , in August last year .

She was sentenced to life in prison after a retrial was ordered in June and July this year.

Gill says data showing the number of deaths at the hospital was very close to the number you would have expected, given the relative poor health of the preterm babies born there.

Gill emailed his concerns to counsel for both parties, as well as the judge.

The New Yorker article highlighted concerns over the evidence in some deaths.

But it did not mention others, for example that of Baby O , considered to be one of strongest cases against Letby .
