There were so many things that these articles overlook----like the two separate cases where two sets of twins are both attacked, on back to back nights, one by air pumped into their bodies, the other by [ can't remember now---insulin?]
But anyway, what are the odds that TWO sets of twins, born months apart, would both be attacked in the same way on back to back nights?
Also, Baby K----Mom went to her twin son's nursery about 9 pm, to drop off breast milk , as she entered hallway she heard her baby screaming in pain, walks in and sees his mouth bleeding, he is screaming, and Nurse Letby tells the mom to leave the room-- Mom says 'what's going on?'
LL---Trust Me, I'm a nurse, you need to leave, everything is fine...
And that baby was dead 5 hours later. And the Doctor that treated him and tried to save him said he “had never seen a baby bleed like this."
Years later in court, Letby said the grieving mother was 'mistaken' when she said she brought the milk to the nursery at 9 pm. Letby's notes showed 10 pm. And Letby said the mother was wrong about seeing blood. Letby denied the baby was bleeding at 9 pm. HOWEVER the mom had corroboration for her version of the story because she had immediately called her husband about seeing their baby crying and bleeding, and phone records showed that it did happen about 9 pm, as she had said.
Letby's notes, putting it at 10 pm were incorrect. And it seemed she falsified them to try and cover up the fact that the mom saw her baby bleeding at 9 pm but Letby did not report that to a doctor until after 10 pm.
The Guardian says nothing about those kinds of 'discrepancies' in Nurse Letby's medical notes.

A mother of twins walked in on a nurse attempting to murder one of her baby boys who then told her: “Trust me, I’m a nurse,” a court has heard.
Lucy Letby, 32, was trying to kill the five-day-old boy when his mother arrived on the neonatal ward with his milk, jurors were told.
The infant was “acutely distressed” and bleeding from the mouth, the court heard.
The woman, who cannot be named, did not realise Letby was allegedly in the process of attacking her son and was “fobbed off” by the alleged killer.
The trial at Manchester crown court heard how the mother of premature twin boys, who can only be named as Baby E and Baby F, arrived at the unit with their milk.
Nick Johnson KC, prosecuting, told the jury she “interrupted Lucy Letby who was attacking [Baby E]”.
He added: “She did not realise it at the time but I’m going to suggest why you can be confident that is what happened. When [she] arrived, [Baby E] was acutely distressed and he was bleeding from his mouth.”
Johnson said Letby allegedly tried to reassure the boy’s mother, telling her the blood was due to a nasogastric tube irritating his throat, adding: “Trust me, I’m a nurse’ – that’s what she [Letby] told the mother.”
The infant, who weighed 1.3kg (just under 3lbs) at birth, rapidly deteriorated and was pronounced dead less than five hours after Letby was seen attacking him, the jury was told.
A doctor present said he “had never seen a baby bleed like this” and that the child lost more than a quarter of his total blood volume, the court heard.
Baby E’s death was initially put down to a gastrointestinal disorder that can occur in premature babies and no postmortem was undertaken. This, Johnson said, was “a big mistake”.
Experts later concluded that Baby E died as a result of gas intentionally injected into his bloodstream and “bleeding indicative of trauma”, the jury was told.
Letby took an “unusual interest” in the twins’ family, searching for them on social media two days after Baby E’s death and several times over the following months – even on Christmas Day 2015, the court heard.
The nurse allegedly “wiped out” the mother’s visit from the medical records then falsely claimed to be in another room when Baby E collapsed. This, the prosecution alleged, was Letby trying to establish an “alibi in someone else’s medical records”.
Jurors were told that Letby then took a “sinister” interested in Baby E’s twin brother, six-day old Baby F.
The nurse allegedly administered a feeding bag laced with insulin to Baby F less than 24 hours after his sibling had died.
