The mother of one of Lucy Letby’s victims has said families “already have the truth” about what happened to their children.
The parent, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, said the claim by a panel of international medical experts that Letby had not murdered any babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital was a “publicity stunt”.
Panel chairman Dr Shoo Lee said they had new evidence about her case which was not meant to cause distress but give families “comfort and assurance in knowing the truth about what really happened”.
But the mother of a baby boy, who Letby was convicted of attempting to murder, told the Daily Mail “every aspect of what they are doing is so disrespectful, it is very upsetting”.
She added: “They said the parents want to know the truth, but we’ve had the truth. We believe in the British justice system, we believe the jury made the right decision.
“We already have the truth and this panel of so-called experts don’t speak for us.”
Letby, 35, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016.
She lost two bids last year to challenge her convictions at the Court of Appeal.
