A nurse from Hereford accused of murdering eight babies on a neonatal unit has appeared in court ahead of her trial.

32-year-old Lucy Letby, of Arran Avenue, Hereford, denies murdering five baby boys and three girls at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

There is a reporting restriction banning naming the five baby boys and three girls allegedly murdered by Letby.

A trial in Manchester is due to start on 4th October and is scheduled to last six months.
