British nurse dumps 8 babies and plans to kill 10 more

Chester Crown Court has ordered a British nurse accused of killing eight babies in a neonatal unit to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing.

The nurse, Lucy Lytby, 32, of Hereford, denied that she had murdered 5 boys and 3 girls at The Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. She also denied trying to kill another 5 boys and 5 girls.

Lucy Lytby appeared on video in court from a room at HMB Bronzefield Reservation Center in Ashford.

Two more pre-trial hearings were scheduled, in April and June or July, and Lytby was returned to the detention center until the next hearing.
