The UK government opened a public inquiry Tuesday into former Lucy Letby, a former nurse who was sentenced to life in prison for killing seven babies and attempting to kill seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit from 2015-2016.

The inquiry, led by the senior Court of Appeal's Lady Justice Thirlwall, is expected to probe three areas of concern: the experience of the victims' parents, the conduct of the hospital's staff, and the broader culture of the National Health Service (NHS).

Counsel for the inquiry, Rachel Langdale KC, said that while the death of Baby A was "unusual" and "unexpected," is wasn't "considered" "malicious." She added that the death of Baby C was the only one for which a doctor attended the unexplained death meeting.

Other evidence provided showed that two hospital managers at the time defended Letby and called the accusations "circumstantial." Others were skeptical of Letby because the first deaths occurred during her day shifts, and then two others at night after she was shifted to night shifts.

Letby was charged with overfeeding the babies, poisoning them with insulin, and injecting them with air, as well as writing a note that said "I am evil, I did this." However, outside commentators have defended her, though Justice Thirlwall dismissed the commentary as "noise" leading to "additional distress to the parents."
