PRISON SCANDAL Shocks West Virginia: Female Inmates at Risk

01 November 2024 — A troubling incident at a West Virginia work release center highlights the growing issue of sexual misconduct in prisons. April Youst, an incarcerated woman, accused correctional officer James Widen of inappropriate behavior during a late-night encounter in the facility’s laundry room. She filed a police complaint eight years ago, but the case remains unresolved as it slowly moves through the court system.

Widen has pleaded not guilty to the charges and claims he was set up, maintaining his innocence throughout the ordeal. Despite his denial, Youst’s allegations point to a broader trend affecting female prisoners nationwide. Reports of sexual violence against women by correctional staff have surged recently, raising concerns about accountability and justice within prison systems.

Female inmates are often vulnerable targets for such misconduct due to their increasing numbers behind bars for nonviolent offenses, many related to drugs. Unfortunately, accusers frequently face retaliation while those accused often escape significant consequences. This pattern underscores systemic issues that demand urgent attention from authorities and policymakers alike.

CHICAGO On EDGE: Violence Fears Loom Over Democratic Convention

20 August 2024 — Federal, state, and local authorities are working to minimize violence during the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The Chicago Police Department, Secret Service, and other agencies have been planning for months. They aim to prevent demonstrations from turning violent.

Police Superintendent Larry Snelling emphasized the success of the 1996 convention when Bill Clinton was nominated for a second term. He noted that Chicago has hosted more major party conventions than any other city. However, the 1968 convention remains infamous due to large-scale protests against the Vietnam War.

The first anti-Israel demonstration is scheduled for Monday at Union Park, near the United Center. In 1968, anti-war protesters violently confronted police and National Guardsmen outside the convention hall. Vice President Kamala Harris’s nomination parallels Hubert Humphrey’s in 1968 as both assumed their roles without winning primary support.

UK BRACES for MORE Violence Amid Anti-Immigrant Unrest

09 August 2024 — British authorities are preparing for more unrest despite efforts to stop far-right demonstrations. Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the need for continued vigilance after a week of anti-immigrant violence across the country.

Starmer spoke to reporters at a mosque in Solihull, highlighting ongoing emergency meetings with law enforcement. “It’s important that we don’t let up here,” he stated, stressing the importance of planning for the coming days.

Police had anticipated widespread disorder after far-right activists listed over 100 sites to target, including immigration lawyers’ offices. However, these protests did not materialize as police and counter-protesters took to the streets in large numbers.

Carrying signs like “Refugees Welcome” and chanting “Whose streets? Our streets,” counter-protesters protected asylum service centers and immigration attorneys’ offices from potential attacks. The situation remains tense as authorities stay on high alert for future disturbances.

NETANYAHU VOWS Swift Justice After Hezbollah Attack Kills Children

29 July 2024 — The Israeli response to Hezbollah’s rocket attack in Lebanon is imminent after the group targeted a children’s soccer field, killing 12 young people. Early Monday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly executed a drone strike in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of two Hezbollah terrorists. The IDF has not commented on the strike.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a three-hour cabinet meeting on Sunday, authorizing him and his defense minister to determine the “manner and timing” of a military response. Danny Danon, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, told “Fox and Friends” that Israel’s response will be “swift, harsh and painful,” but clarified there are no intentions for a full war.

Netanyahu visited Majdal Shams on Monday and announced that Israel’s response to the massacre “will come and it will be severe.” He expressed solidarity with the Druze Israeli community, emphasizing their shared grief. U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke with Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the situation on Monday as well.

27 July 2024 — Thousands of rubber ducks raced down a central London canal on July 25 to support Cosmic Charity, which aids babies and children in intensive care. Staff on paddle boards helped propel the ducks along a 100-meter stretch to the finish line.

Around 3,000 rubber ducks participated in the event, raising money for Cosmic Charity. “It’s a lovely community event...everybody just loves this event because it’s such a good, fun family event,” said Lynsey Carrington, Acting Chief Executive of Cosmic Charity.

Revelers could sponsor a duck to join the race, with all proceeds going to support the charity’s vital work. This unique and entertaining fundraiser brought together families and community members for a worthy cause.

SHOCKING ABUSE Claims at Migrant Children’s Shelter Exposed

19 July 2024 — The Justice Department has accused Southwest Key Programs Inc. employees of sexually abusing unaccompanied migrant children for at least eight years. The allegations include rape, solicitation of sex, and harassment. Two employees have been indicted since 2020.

Southwest Key operates 29 shelters across Texas, Arizona, and California with a capacity for over 6,300 children. The nonprofit received more than $3 billion in government contracts from 2015 to 2023.

The lawsuit claims some employees threatened children to keep them silent by exploiting their vulnerabilities and language barriers. Southwest Key disputes the allegations but is reviewing the complaint.

HARVARD Student’s BRAVE Stand Against Antisemitism at RNC

18 July 2024 — Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard student, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee about the antisemitism he faced on campus. He revealed that anti-Israel and anti-American students openly called for Hamas-style attacks against the U.S., with no action from Harvard’s administration.

Kestenbaum criticized Harvard for not condemning Hamas’s atrocities, including the murder of 45 American citizens and taking 12 hostages on October 7. Once a Bernie Sanders supporter, he now believes the far-left has abandoned both Jewish and American people.

He declared that the Democratic Party is ideologically poisoned and that this poison has spread to America’s youth. Kestenbaum expressed his support for President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate laws and harass Jewish classmates, receiving cheers from the audience.

ANTI-ISRAEL Protests Erupt In Violence Near LA Synagogue

09 July 2024 — A violent anti-Israel demonstration near the Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles erupted into chaos on June 23. Clashes between pro-Israel supporters and anti-Israel protesters resulted in at least one arrest. Agitators allegedly blocked the synagogue entrance and harassed congregants.

Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, criticized the demonstrators for alienating potential allies among left-leaning Jewish-Americans. “They’re alienating one of their potential major allies,” Swart told Fox News Digital. He argued that these actions do nothing to help the Palestinian cause.

President Biden condemned the violence, calling it “dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic and un-American.” Demonstrations have intensified since Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping hundreds more. The conflict has exacerbated a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

ISRAEL RESCUES Hostages: Dramatic Operation Against Hamas

08 June 2024 — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Police, and Israel Security Agency (ISA) successfully rescued four hostages from Gaza. The hostages include Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

The rescue operation targeted two Hamas buildings above ground. Noa Argamani’s abduction had become a symbol of the October 7 Hamas terror attack, with footage of her kidnapping widely circulated.

The IDF shared a video showing the dramatic moment they freed three of the four hostages. This successful mission underscores Israel’s commitment to bringing its citizens home safely from terrorist captivity.

UKRAINE DEFENDS Against Russian Onslaught in Kharkiv

11 May 2024 — Ukrainian troops fought off a Russian military attack in Kharkiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the conflict as intense, with Russia using missiles, drones, and artillery. The White House stands firmly behind Ukraine’s ability to endure these attacks.

Russian military sources said they aimed at Ukrainian ammo depots and troops. Yet, Kharkiv’s regional leader, Oleh Syniehubov, confirmed that his forces kept control of all territory. He noted that Russian scouts tried to enter Ukraine but were pushed back successfully.

The European Union is thinking about using money from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine during this tough time. This plan would strengthen Ukrainian defenses and aid their recovery as the situation worsens in the area.

This move by the EU could provide crucial support for Ukraine while also putting additional pressure on Russia by targeting its financial resources.

UK’S RECORD Military Aid to UKRAINE: A Bold Stand Against Russian Aggression

23 April 2024 — Britain has unveiled its largest military aid package for Ukraine, totaling £500 million. This significant boost raises the UK’s total support to £3 billion for the current financial year. The comprehensive package includes 60 boats, 400 vehicles, over 1,600 missiles, and nearly four million rounds of ammunition.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stressed the critical role of supporting Ukraine in Europe’s security landscape. “Defending Ukraine against Russia’s brutal ambitions is crucial not just for their sovereignty but also for the safety of all European nations,” Sunak remarked before his discussions with European leaders and NATO’s chief. He cautioned that a victory for Putin could pose threats to NATO territories as well.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps emphasized how this unprecedented aid would bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities against Russian advances. “This record package will equip President Zelenskiy and his courageous nation with essential resources to repel Putin and bring back peace and stability to Europe,” stated Shapps, reaffirming Britain’s dedication to its NATO allies and European security overall.

Shapps further underscored Britain’s unwavering commitment to support its allies by enhancing Ukraine’s military strength which is vital in maintaining regional stability and deterring future aggression from Russia.

TRAGEDY Strikes Gaza: CHILDREN Among the Dead in Latest Israeli Airstrike

21 April 2024 — An Israeli airstrike in Rafah, Gaza Strip, tragically ended the lives of nine people, including six children. This devastating event is part of a seven-month-long offensive by Israel against Hamas. The strike specifically targeted a house in Rafah, a densely populated refuge for many of Gaza’s residents.

Abdel-Fattah Sobhi Radwan and his family were among those who perished. Heartbroken relatives gathered at al-Najjar hospital to mourn their unimaginable loss. Ahmed Barhoum, grieving the deaths of his wife and daughter, voiced his despair over the erosion of human values amid ongoing conflict.

Despite global pleas for moderation from allies including the United States, Israel has hinted at an impending ground assault in Rafah. This area is considered a key base for Hamas militants still active in the region. Prior to this incident, some locals had left their homes following preliminary warnings issued by the Israeli military.

UK Government STRIKES BACK Against Post Office Injustice: Here’s What You Need to Know

13 March 2024 — The UK government has taken a significant stride towards rectifying one of the country’s most egregious miscarriages of justice. A new law introduced on Wednesday aims to overturn the wrongful convictions of hundreds of Post Office branch managers across England and Wales.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that this legislation is vital for “finally clearing” the names of those unjustly convicted due to a flawed computer accounting system, known as Horizon. The victims, whose lives were drastically affected by this scandal, have experienced prolonged delays in receiving compensation.

Under the anticipated law, expected to be enacted by summer, convictions will be automatically overturned if they meet certain criteria. These include cases initiated by the state-owned Post Office or Crown Prosecution Service and offenses committed between 1996 and 2018 using the faulty Horizon software.

More than 700 subpostmasters were prosecuted and criminally convicted between 1999 and 2015 due to this software glitch. Those with overturned convictions will receive an interim payment with an option for a final offer of £600,000 ($760,000). Enhanced financial compensation will be provided to those who suffered financially but weren’t convicted.

US Marines SPRING Into Action: SECURING Haiti Amid Rampant Gang Violence

09 March 2024 — The US State Department has called upon a Marine security team to restore order in Haiti, according to Fox News Digital. This decision stems from the country’s escalating gang violence leading to widespread instability.

A representative from the State Department stressed that ensuring the safety of American citizens abroad is their topmost concern. Despite operating with a reduced staff, the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince remains operational and prepared to aid American citizens as required.

Earlier confusion regarding the mission’s status and personnel involved has been clarified. An antiterrorism security team is confirmed for deployment this week, while the Pentagon continues evaluating its options in response to this unpredictable situation.

Haiti’s MAIN AIRPORT Under Siege: Armed Gangs Launch Shocking Takeover Attempt

05 March 2024 — In a startling rise in violence, armed gangs launched an audacious bid to seize control of Haiti’s primary international airport on Monday. The Toussaint Louverture International Airport was effectively shut down during the attack, with all operations suspended and no passengers in sight. An armored vehicle was spotted firing at the assailants in a desperate effort to keep them off airport property.

This assault is unprecedented in Haiti’s history concerning an airport. It remains uncertain whether the gangs were successful in their audacious takeover attempt. Just last week, stray bullets hit the airport during ongoing gang skirmishes.

This alarming incident unfolded merely hours after authorities imposed a nighttime curfew due to escalating violence. This surge saw armed gang members overrun two major prisons and liberate thousands of inmates.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric voiced grave concern about the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Port-au-Prince. He noted that attacks on critical infrastructure had escalated over the weekend.

Biden WARNED: Israeli Defense Leaders URGE Against Recognizing Palestinian State

23 February 2024 — A group of Israeli defense and security leaders have issued a stern warning to President Biden. Their message is clear — do not recognize a Palestinian state. They believe this move could endanger Israel’s existence and indirectly support regimes known for sponsoring terrorism, such as Iran and Russia.

The Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) sent this urgent letter on February 19th. They caution that recognizing Palestine would be interpreted as rewarding violent actions by Hamas, global terrorist organizations, Iran, and other rogue states.

Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of the IDSF, spoke to Fox News Digital about the situation. He stressed that it’s crucial for the U.S., at this juncture, to stand by its key ally in the Middle East and uphold American interests in the region.

In a rare display of consensus on Wednesday, Israel’s Knesset (parliament) unanimously dismissed foreign pressures to single-handedly recognize a Palestinian state.

DEFEAT for Disney: Court TOSSES Lawsuit Against Governor DeSantis

01 February 2024 — On Wednesday, a significant legal victory was scored by Governor DeSantis and his administration. The court dismissed a lawsuit brought by Disney, asserting that the entertainment giant lacked the necessary standing to sue.

The basis for dismissal centered on Disney’s inability to demonstrate any imminent harm or injury directly linked to actions taken by either the Secretary or governor.

While the court acknowledged that Disney could potentially bring a case against members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CTFOD), it was determined that even then, they would not prevail.

The case in question, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts v. DeSantis (No. 4:23-cv-163), took place in the U.S. District Court for Northern Florida.

From BETTING FRENZY to Prison: Andy May’s £13M Gamble and His Fight Against Addiction

06 January 2024 — Andy May, once a finance manager from Norfolk, squandered his family’s house deposit in a gambling frenzy. After seven years of abstinence from betting, the allure of a “free bet” during the 2014 World Cup lured him back into the destructive habit.

May’s addiction spiraled out of control as he misused his company credit card to gamble away £1.3 million. This reckless act led him straight to prison. Now released after two years, he has teamed up with GambleAware to share his cautionary tale and raise awareness about gambling addiction.

During his four-and-a-half-year betting spree, May wagered on everything conceivable. He even resorted to paying off personal credit card debts using company funds. His illicit activities eventually caught up with him in 2019 when he was found guilty of stealing over £1.3 million from his employer.

Despite losing his job and deceiving his family about it, May confesses that he might be tempted by gambling again but fights daily against this urge. He underscores that no amount of potential winnings could enhance his life while everything is

EXTREME Hate Speech: Neo-Nazi Podcasters PAY the Price for Threats Against Prince Harry and Family

04 January 2024 — In a recent ruling, a London court has handed down sentences to two neo-Nazi podcasters. The charges? Inciting violence against Prince Harry and his young son. The culprits, Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh, are the hosts of “Lone Wolf Radio”. According to the sentencing judge, these men are “dedicated and unapologetic white supremacists”.

Gibbons, aged 40, was dealt an eight-year prison sentence. His co-host Patten-Walsh, 34 years old, received seven years behind bars. Following their prison terms, both men will be under probation for three years. Their podcast was a platform for spreading racist views along with antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic and misogynistic ideologies.

The duo didn’t just stop at propagating hate speech; they encouraged violent acts against ethnic minorities as well as individuals in interracial relationships whom they labeled as “race traitors”. Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle happens to be biracial. In one shocking episode of their show Gibbons even suggested that Prince Harry should face prosecution for treason while his son Archie was dehumanized as a “creature” that should be euthanized.

PASSPORT PANIC: Zimbabweans Race Against Time Amid Looming Price Hike Fear

25 December 2023 — In Zimbabwe, currently grappling with economic woes, the most sought-after Christmas gift isn’t a gadget or toy, but a passport. The capital city’s passport office in Harare is teeming with citizens hoping to secure their travel documents before an expected price surge in the New Year. The looming increase and deteriorating economic conditions are driving a spike in migration.

Nolan Mukona, a 49-year-old father of three, was among those who rose at dawn to join the queue at the passport office. Despite his early start, he was greeted by over 100 people already waiting when he arrived at 5 a.m. “The only thing that can make my Christmas cheerful is if I manage to get a passport,” Mukona shared.

At present, passports cost $120 — an amount already burdensome for many Zimbabweans struggling to meet basic needs. However, according to 2024 budget proposals from the finance minister, these fees will rise to $150 in January — reduced from an initially proposed $200 after public backlash.

Over recent decades, millions of Zimbabweans have fled their homeland due to its crumbling economy. This exodus has accelerated recently as optimism for improvement following Robert Mugabe’s ousting from power in 2017 continues to wane.

Turkish MP COLLAPSES Amid Fiery Denouncement of Israel’s Actions Against Hamas

12 December 2023 — In a dramatic turn of events, Bitmez, the Deputy Chief of Turkey’s Saadet Party, collapsed during a budgetary debate in the Grand Assembly of the Turkish parliament. His collapse followed an impassioned criticism of Israel’s military response to Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Bitmez accused Israelis of committing “crimes against humanity” and “ethnic cleansing.” His final words before collapsing were reportedly, “Israel will not escape the wrath of Allah!”

Bitmez, aged 54 and a diabetic patient, was immediately rushed to Ankara’s Bilkent City Hospital. He was reported to be in critical condition following his sudden collapse.

The Saadet or “Felicity” Party that Bitmez is affiliated with is known for its Islamist ideology. It’s considered more hardline than President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party. This incident comes at a time when relations between Turkey and Israel are tense due to Israel’s counter-terrorist operation in Gaza initiated after an attack by Hamas on October 7.

Norwegian Tanker UNDER SIEGE: Houthi’s Shocking Protest Against Israel

12 December 2023 — The Houthi movement in Yemen, an ally of Iran, announced on Tuesday that they targeted a Norwegian oil and chemical tanker with a rocket. This recent attack is their latest form of protest against Israel’s actions in Gaza. The ship, Strinda, was hit after its crew “ignored all warning calls,” said Houthi military spokesperson Yehia Sareea.

Sareea also stated that the Houthis will continue to disrupt ships heading towards Israeli ports. Their demand? They want Israel to permit the entry of food and medical supplies into the Gaza Strip — over 1,000 miles away from their stronghold in Sanaa.

The attack on Strinda took place about 60 nautical miles north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait — an essential sea lane for global oil shipments. The U.S. military’s Central Command confirmed on Tuesday that an anti-ship cruise missile “launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen” struck the Strinda.

USS MASON Bravely Defends Against Pirate Attack and Dodges Yemeni Missiles: A New Threat on the Horizon?

28 November 2023 — In a daring act of valor, the USS Mason responded to a distress call from commercial vessel M/V Central Park. The Mason successfully defended against an attack by five armed pirates. After attempting to flee, the pirates were pursued and apprehended by the Mason’s crew. The Pentagon has suggested that these pirates are likely of Somali origin, not Houthi.

As the rescue operation was winding down, two ballistic missiles were launched from areas in Yemen under Houthi control. These missiles landed approximately 10 nautical miles away from both the USS Mason and M/V Central Park. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported.

This missile attack could signify an escalation of aggression by Iran-backed forces towards U.S. assets in this region. While there has been a recent increase in drone and missile attacks on U.S bases and troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed groups, this marks a new development with ballistic missiles being directed at U.S ships.

The vessel under attack, M/V Central Park flies under Liberia’s flag but is managed by an Israeli firm owned by Israel’s Ofer

MASSIVE Stand Against ANTISEMITISM: Boris Johnson Joins Thousands in Historic London March

28 November 2023 — On Sunday, an unprecedented number of people, including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, took to the streets of London to protest against antisemitism. The march was strategically organized a day after a large pro-Palestinian rally and amidst rising tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Organizers hailed it as the most significant demonstration against antisemitism in nearly a century.

The crowd was a sea of Israeli flags and Union Jacks, with participants bearing powerful placards like “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” Alongside Johnson, U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other high-ranking government officials marched in unity with the Jewish community.

Notably detained at the event was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right English Defence League. Earlier this month, Robinson had an altercation with police during an Armistice Day march in London after refusing to leave despite warnings that his presence could distress others.

Among those marching was 75-year-old Malcolm Canning from London who voiced his concerns about current anti-Jewish sentiment. He expressed his alarm at how anything associated with Judaism feels under attack now and lamented reaching such a stage in this country.

WHITE HOUSE Pleads for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Netanyahu’s Firm Stand Against Unconditional Truce

03 November 2023 — The White House is urging for temporary ceasefires in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. The goal is to facilitate aid delivery and ensure civilian safety. U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, put forth these proposals during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last Friday.

Blinken believes that these negotiations could potentially lead to the release of hostages held by Hamas, currently estimated at 241 by Israel. Yet, Netanyahu has adamantly declared he won’t agree to a ceasefire without the prior liberation of these hostages.

Blinken views this strategy as an opportunity to deliver much-needed relief to those impacted by the conflict and foster an environment conducive for hostage release. However, he conceded that a pause doesn’t necessarily guarantee the ultimate freedom of the hostages.

While Blinken’s proposal targets humanitarian relief amidst rising tensions, it remains uncertain how this plan will be received or executed given Netanyahu’s steadfast opposition against any ceasefire without preconditions met.

NATWEST CEO Falls: ICO Rules Against Dame Alison Rose, NO More Actions Planned

28 October 2023 — The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has ruled against former NatWest CEO, Dame Alison Rose. She was found to have breached data laws in her dealings with Brexit leader Nigel Farage. However, since Rose has already stepped down from her role, the ICO plans no further action.

Rose twice broke data laws by sharing the bank’s decision to debank Farage with a reporter. She revealed sensitive personal financial details about Farage and gave misleading information about why his account was closed.

According to the ICO report, these actions violated Farage’s rights. But as Rose has resigned and NatWest is conducting its own investigation, the ICO doesn’t plan any additional regulatory action at this time.

Despite potential hefty payouts from NatWest in coming years, critics believe it would be inappropriate to reward Rose with a large sum due to her violations of Financial Conduct Authority code and data laws.

AMERICAN TEEN Freed: The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Family’s Fight Against Hamas Captivity

21 October 2023 — Natalie Raanan, an American teenager, has been released after enduring two harrowing weeks as a hostage under Hamas in Gaza. Her father, Uri Raanan from Illinois, confirmed the news of her freedom and reassured that she is recovering well. The announcement sparked an outpouring of relief and joy within the family who had spent anxious hours praying for Natalie’s safe return.

Uri Raanan expressed his overwhelming relief and joy at the thought of his daughter being home in time to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday. Before her abduction, Natalie and her brother Ben had made plans to get matching tattoos as a symbol of their bond on this special day. In a heartfelt tribute during her absence, Ben got a tattoo that intertwined their names.

The family’s group text message thread turned from cautious optimism to jubilant celebration upon receiving the news about Natalie’s release. Despite their happiness, they remain conscious that other families continue to live under the shadow of fear for their captive loved ones.

Nurse Lucy Letby DENIES Murdering SEVEN Babies and Attempting to Kill TEN More

16 May 2023 — Lucy Letby, a 33-year-old UK nurse, stands accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another ten in a neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016. During her trial at Manchester Crown Court, Letby denied these allegations, asserting that “killing babies” was not on her mind.

Following unusually high infant mortality rates at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit from 2015 to 2016, Hereford-born nurse, Lucy Letby, was arrested but released on bail in 2018. After two more arrests and subsequent releases, Letby was ultimately charged with eight counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder.

The highly anticipated trial began in October last year and is scheduled to conclude in May.
