Davis Calls for Lucy Letby Review

0:00Europe news today, powered by AI bringing you what matters across Europe. I'm Cory with the story. Former conservative cabinet minister Sir David Davis is calling for a full review of how police and prosecutors handled the Lucy let by case. Let by a 35 year old nurse from Heriford is serving 15 whole life prison terms after her conviction for murdering seven babies and trying to murder seven more on a neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. Davis plans to ride directly to the director of public prosecutions, Steven Parkinson, with his request. He wants Cheshire police to release key documents like investigators policy books, decision logs, and meeting minutes to shed light on potential issues. In Parliament, Davis accused the police of repeatedly ignoring rules, skipping alternative inquiries and failing to share critical evidence with a defense. He compared it to the Sally Clark case, where a mother's murder convictions for her two baby sons were later overturned.

She warned against undermining trust in the justice system without proven wrongdoing. Meanwhile, Lebby's case is under review by the Criminal Cases Review Commission after her appeals failed, keeping questions alive as Davis presses for. More transparency.
