Lawyers for child serial killer Lucy Letby will make a fresh bid to challenge her convictions on the grounds that the lead prosecution medical expert at her trial was “not reliable”.
Her barrister, Mark McDonald, said he would immediately seek permission from the Court of Appeal to take the “exceptional but necessary decision” to apply to reopen her case.
Speaking at a press conference in central London, Mr McDonald said that “remarkably” Dr Dewi Evans had changed his mind over the mechanism of death involving three of Letby’s murder victims.
He said: “The defence will argue that Dr Evans is not a reliable expert, and all the convictions are not safe.”
Letby, 34, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted at Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.
