Now — 15 years after de Berk walked free — Dr Gill revealed to The Sun what the reclusive de Berk, who has not spoken to the Press for years, told him when asked about Letby.
Now — as top doctors question the science behind Letby’s conviction — critics are using De Berk’s case to highlight how doubts over 35-year-old neonatal nurse Letby’s case could very well be justified.
This was Dutch nurse Lucia de Berk — found guilty of killing seven and attempting to kill three of her young patients in 2003 and 2004.
The Crown said Letby attempted to murder the baby girl, the twin sister of Child A, by injecting air into her bloodstream.
But Professor Richard Gill said the Letby and de Berk cases are “incredibly similar” and include many of the same “mistakes”.
