New arrest in Lucy Letby probe

Detectives investigating the management of the Countess of Chester Hospital during Lucy Letby's crimes have arrested a member of the senior leadership team.

The individual, who has since been released on bail, is being questioned over allegations of perverting the course of justice.

This development is part of Operation Duet, a wider corporate manslaughter probe into the hospital's response to the infant deaths.

The investigation aims to determine if hospital executives ignored warnings about Letby's behavior and failed to protect vulnerable patients.
