A nurse in the UK has appeared in court charged with seven counts of murder and fifteen counts of attempted murder.
Lucy Letby, 32, allegedly carried out a year-long killing spree from June 2015 while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chesire, UK.
The suspicious deaths that occurred between June 2015 and 2016 were initially investigated in May 2017.
In total, five girls and two boys died, while another five girls and five boys were saved by a team of doctors and nurses.
In two incidents, Letby is understood to have returned to two of the saved children in second - and failed - attempts to murder them.
While the methods used in the murders and attempted murders have yet to be disclosed, it is understood they will be detailed at length during the trial.
The 32-year-old from Hereford has denied all murder charges, including fifteen counts of attempted murder.
While the babies cannot be named for legal reasons, family members of the victims were present in the public gallery at the trial's opening.
The trial continues at Manchester Crown Court.
