Lucy Letby murdered two babies from a set of triplets immediately after returning from a summer holiday to Ibiza, a jury in her trial heard today. Baby O died during her first shift back on duty at the Countess of Chester Hospital, while his brother, Baby P, collapsed and died the day after.

When he offers to bring her some lunch, she replies: 'Tapas?'. A few minutes later she adds: 'It's ok thanks, I've got a few bits with me'. When Letby mislays a slip of paper on the unit, she tells him: 'Clearly should still be in Ibiza'.
Later, the two colleagues find themselves working side by side as a team of medics work frantically to save first Baby O and later his brother.
