Lucy Letby convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others.

But experts argue she may be the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

Panorama airs on Monday with new information from leading experts and prosecution experts.

We've spent years covering the Letby case - here’s why experts are still arguing about it.

Dr Mike Hall said none of the skin discolourations seen on the babies in the Letby case were proof of air embolism.

He also believes the prosecution experts overstated how stable the babies were before they collapsed and died.

Letby was convicted of using a variety of methods to harm and murder babies - injecting air into their stomachs, force-feeding them with milk, dislodging breathing tubes, and inflicting trauma.

Lucy Letby was convicted of attempted murder of two babies in June 2016 .

She was found guilty of poisoning the babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital .

Prosecution used insulin evidence to prove someone on the neonatal unit was a poisoner.
