Former UK nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of trying to murder another newborn baby.

It adds to convictions last year that made her the United Kingdom's most prolific serial killer of modern times.

The 34-year-old was found guilty last August of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more while working at a Chester Hospital.

She went on trial last month for a second time for the attempted murder of a baby girl after the original jury failed to reach a verdict.

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking that when the verdict was read the parents gasped while Letby showed no emotion in the dock.
