Serial killer Lucy Letby will face a retrial on an outstanding charge of attempting to murder a baby girl.

Letby, 33, was sentenced to a whole life order after being convicted last month of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others, at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

However, the jury had been unable to reach verdicts on six counts of attempted murder.

A provisional trial date of 10 June 2024 at the same court has been fixed.

Letby attended the hearing via videolink from a conference room at HMP New Hall in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Sat behind a desk, she spoke only to confirm her name and that she could see and hear the proceedings.
