Child serial killer Lucy Letby is set to find out whether her bid to challenge her convictions at the Court of Appeal has been successful.
At a two-and-a-half day hearing last month, the former nurse's lawyers asked senior judges for the go-ahead to bring an appeal against all her convictions.
Dame Victoria Sharp, Lord Justice Holroyde and Mrs Justice Lambert are expected to give their decision on the appeal bid at a short hearing on Friday.
In August 2023, Letby, of Hereford, was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
The full details of Letby’s appeal bid, which was argued on four points, cannot currently be reported for legal reasons.
Dame Victoria previously said it could be reported that it was the submission of Letby’s legal team that the judge at her trial wrongly refused legal applications during that trial.
