'Questions are mounting over the handling of a “private” letter authored by Cheshire Constabulary’s chief constable, Mark Roberts, after it emerged that the document appears to have been shared with a single journalist, whilst being withheld from others' neilwilby.com/2026/04/14/sta…

@KieraDiss This is turning out to be a huge dumpster fire of epic proportions for Cheshire Police and it appears to be getting worse for them with each passing day. Surely the CCRC must now refer this case to the COA without delay given the sheer weight of evidence not presented at trial.

LUCY LETBY DEVELOPMENT An email has emerged in the Lucy Letby case that appears to contradict key prosecution claims. Dr Ravi Jayaram told jurors Letby didn’t call for help as Baby K deteriorated but in a 2017 email, he reportedly said she did raise the alarm. The email also suggested the baby’s death could be explained by extreme prematurity. It was only disclosed after Letby had already been sentenced. Her legal team is now filing fresh challenges.

Roberts got to his position by being a liar who will protect his crap institution at all costs - at the expense of justice, truth, & reality. A rotten individual. Get rid of this dross from our public institutions. Free Lucy Letby.

Thanks for clarifying - am guessing it's the Inquiry that disclosed it then - I'm not across everything that's come to light through Thirlwall yet so apologies if I'm raking over old soil. I'm currently compiling a comprehensive timeline so plotting all these things and want to be sure I'm getting facts right. There are so many important time frames in this case that it's hard to keep across them all.

A year ago on Sunday, @DavidRoseUK and I broke the story about a crucial piece of evidence that was not disclosed to Lucy Letby's defence until after her convictions. An email, written by one of the doctors who accused Letby of murder, completely contradicted the testimony he gave at trial. What's worse: it was this doctor's stunning accusation – an accusation refuted by his own private correspondence – that set the entire case against Letby in motion. Dr Ravi Jayaram claims he once caught Lucy Letby trying to kill a baby. He says it happened very late one night, into the wee hours, when he got a funny feeling in his stomach. All he knew was that Letby was alone in the intensive care room with a very premature baby. Something about it didn't sit right with him. So he got up and walked over to the room, he says. Totally unprompted. Just following his gut. And just as he walked in, he could see monitors announcing that the tiny, premature baby's oxygen levels were dropping. It was the kind of scenario that would have prompted any conscientious nurse to call for help. But Letby? Letby didn't call for help, Dr Jayaram says. Letby was just… standing there. Alone with the baby. Doing nothing. If not for the heroic doctor showing up in the nick of time, the murderous nurse would have stood there and watched the baby die. Dr Jayaram kept this story to himself for over a year. When he finally did tell hospital executives – a year after the murder attempt had supposedly taken place – the hospital executives called the police. When Dr Jayaram relayed the story to the police, the police launched an investigation the very same day. And within days of launching their probe, the police contacted the baby girl's parents, to say they were investigating a nurse at the hospital where their daughter had been born – an astonishing detail, buried in the transcripts of the Thirlwall Inquiry, and brought sharply back into focus by @DavidDavisMP's letter to Cheshire police's top boss this week. Letby was convicted of attempting to murder this baby girl. At the trial, the prosecutor said that the entire case rested on Dr Jayaram's account of what he says he saw, and whether the jury believed him. When he got up on the stand, Dr Jayaram was emphatic: Letby should have called for help when the baby's oxygen levels started dropping. But she didn't. But… did Dr Jayaram's story hold up? Not according to the email sent nearly a decade ago, by Dr Jayaram himself, describing the events of that night. It's the earliest record we have of what actually transpired. In it, Dr Jayaram (helpfully referring to himself in the third person) explained what happened when the baby's oxygen levels started to drop: "Staff nurse Letby at incubator and called Dr Jayaram to inform of low saturations."

Some things manage to be shocking, yet not actually a surprise. Faced with a long-overdue dressing down from @DavidDavismp, the decision of the Chief Constable of Cheshire to fight back with a patronising but evasive response was, as Sir Humphrey might have put it, “courageous”. He had the opportunity to show that @cheshirepolice was objective meticulous and open to serious discussion. Such was his hubris, he felt the Speaker of the House of Commons and all Cheshire’s MPs should be copied in his answer. A draft was dutifully supplied to his PR adviser. @lizhull. And the world read it… His errors, a selection of which were smacked out of the ground by David Davis, were not just technical or typographic. First, they can be disproved. QED. Second, they are huge. Third, they show that Cheshire Police swallowed the consultant- and expert-prescribed KoolAid by the gallon, and are even now holding it in rather than vomiting it out.. The fact that in 2026 the Chief Constable is writing and leaking this in public shows that large, essential parts of his force have long stopped thinking. Given his missed opportunity to critically review his officers’ work, it is clear that he isn’t safe in the uniform. The kindest interpretation is that he is cravenly keen to “support his officers” at the expense of public interest, justice and a woman rotting in jail. The alternative is that he is deeply stupid. The two options are not mutually exclusive. @LabourSJ is the policing minister and had to face David Davis on this matter. It was hard to see where she got her briefing from. Now it seems clearer. She needs him out, or to take personal responsibility hereafter. Back him or sack him please. @peternhayes @PeterElston1 @legalmarkmc @northerness @NadineDorries @ClarkeMicah @LucyLetbyTrials @Michelehal7344 @Seagreen2707 @TobeHon29809726 @markjurgenmayes @MartynPitman

No, Debs: evidence. That stuff you claim, ludicrously, to have a monopoly on. So let’s look at some “facts”, shall we? Let’s document this. Did the police pre-judge the perpetrator? There is: - The police’s written record that Ms. Letby was identified as the likely suspect at the first police meeting in May 2017. thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl… - The police written record of that meeting that the COCH conceded there was nothing, bar her attendance, to implicate Ms. Letby, and she had a clean disciplinary record and no performance issues. thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl…: “... there was a notable high statistical relationship between a member of the nursing staff and babies deteriorating in the unit. There is no evidence, other than coincidence.” “There has been no formal investigation of misconduct and no motive identified. There are no mental health issues known and nothing has been highlighted by occupational health. There are no management issues.” - Dr. Jayaram’s internal email that COCH needed to “pique” police interest in Ms. Letby if they were to succeed in orchestrating a prosecution. unherd.com/newsroom/hidde… “This is after all the basis of our concerns and I think for the police to have their interest piqued we need to have that with all of the cases (it’s not going to be in the info Ian H/Stephen C have given to the police). I have attempted to do this as belwo [sic] for the ones I was involved with but hopefully more In a stating the facts way than a subjective finger pointing way. If everyone is in agreement we should all do something similar for the ones we know about. Time is of the essence, I would like to get this to Superintendent Wenham by the middle of next week at the latest. Ravi” - Mr Johnson’s concession, in opposing a defence application for disclosure about the police charge selection methodology intended to explore this exact point, that it would have been odd if the police hadn’t focused exclusively on Ms. Letby. “...it would be fairly odd if in investigating what else she may or may not have been up to, they weren’t looking at cases where she was there.” Ms. Letby was the only object of enquiry from the outset. It is disingenuous to say anything else. Mr. Davis is quite correct here. No investigations were made into any other staff member, nor into possible alternative explanations for the collapses. If there were, no doubt you would have pointed to them in your relentless, remorseless sloperature. @DavidDavisMP

open.spotify.com/episode/1ksAdx… Another jaw-dropping listen from @lizhull which represents little more than doubling down. Confirming that she stills exists in an alternative reality regarding the @LucyLetby investigation and conviction. I guess hardly surprising given her investment...

...in it and clearly having significant skin in the game. Why would she wish to see cold, hard facts get in the way of commercially successful misinformation? 🤔

@LucyLetbyTrials How on earth was an email like this not disclosed to the defence? What else hasn’t been disclosed?

A claimed contradiction between private communication and sworn testimony is significant.

@Neil_Wilby @Voice4theDead @LucyLetbyTrials @lizhull She appears to have been very careful to avoid any explanation as to how the CC's letter appears to have been preferentially and exclusively 'leaked' to her @lizhull and the Daily Mail. Hard to imagine how that happened? 🤔

CC Roberts doesn't understand logic. Criminal trials are probability arguments. Justice only works when we understands this, but "the law" works by obscuring it. A binary verdict of guilty/innocent is, by defininition, a fiction, based on proabalistic, statisitcal reasoning ( or lack of it). The Law is an ass.

@Voice4theDead @CPMorris1234 Let’s watch Roberts put his foot in his mouth again…

@CPMorris1234 “PPPS. No, we haven't watched the documentary on the Silver Killer.” 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

dailymail.co.uk/crime-desk/art… Dear Ms. Hull, As we've paid your friend Caroline's production company already, which you have never commented on despite this featuring in the Daily Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/1… ...we have, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided to approach you exclusively. In fact, everyone with a vested interest in the prosecution approaches you, knowing that you will probe them about as much as the the Spanish Inquisition do in the Monty Python sketch, where they poke those apprehended with soft cushions. Naturally, there is nothing of substance in this letter whatsoever, in which we simply parrot several things that are on the public record already, and which no one disputes. We address nothing of any substance from the parliamentary speech, and provide no evidence for any of our assertions. It is impossible for us to detract attention from the fact that we had no intention of investigating this matter, until Dr. Stephen Brearey and Dr. Ravi Jayaram walked into Blacon police station, on 15th May, 2017, and very obviously pointed the finger at Lucy Letby: thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl… Prior to that, we had concluded that there was “no evidence other than coincidence”. thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl… Based on our own record, not only did we very obviously accept the consultants' version of events uncritically, but we even involved them in the investigation. We cannot deny this, because we have already made several public statements indicating this, as indeed has Brearey.: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a… The description of Brearey and Jayaram as the "golden thread" in the investigation is so well-known that is has practically become meme-worthy at this point. It would therefore be fairly extraordinary if we had followed all lines of inquiry as claimed (naturally an unevidenced claim), considering that we moved rapidly from having no intention of investigating to involving the consultants in the selection of cases. It seems under these circumstances pretty unlikely that we ever treated the consultants as suspects, or indeed questioned their motives in any way. This decision to involve the accusers of Lucy Letby in the investigation renders our so-called 'sterile corridor' pretty worthless. While we invited the consultants to speak with us, Lucy Letby was never afforded such an opportunity until she was arrested. This was despite the fact that she made it very clear that she was happy to speak with us. Luckily, our brilliant SIO, Paul 'Brains' Hughes, deduced that this email was suspicious because Lucy knew the name of Operation Hummingbird. Again, this is all on the public record, we have voluntarily revealed this in a Netflix documentary that ethically should never have been made in the first place. We also claimed that we had no choice other than to arrest Lucy, which is very obviously an utterly bogus statement. Of course, we're not going to release any documents that support anything we've said, in fact we will fight tooth-and-nail to avoid releasing documents that are needed by the defence, which should be turned over automatically if we were genuinely confident in the investigation. This only scratches the surface of ways in which my letter is tripe, and, frankly, I shouldn't be writing to you in the first place, as it's deeply unprofessional. In fact, you yourself described this as 'unprecedented' as if it's a good thing! It's not a good thing! Still, I know that you've been practicing your writing recently, Liz, so I'm sure you'll manage to hack something together. Your friend, So-and-so from Cheshire Police PS. Paul and Danielle say hello. PPS. We are still investigating Storm Darragh, and hope to provide updates shortly. PPPS. No, we haven't watched the documentary on the Silver Killer. #LucyLetby #LucyLetbyInnocent #LearnToReadAndWrite

Lucy Letby case is miscarriage of justice like Post Office scandal, blasts MP as he shares ‘proof’ cops bungled probe thesun.co.uk/news/38813773/…. Once again proof comes out it’s a set up but nothing is done about it is the government involve with it trying to cover it up

And did so only a couple of months after the head of West Midlands Police torched himself responding to MPs' questions. The arrogance and stupidity beggars belief.

Also the problem with this aspect is that they did initially instruct her, but dropped her when she told them their approach was flawed.

The Prosecution took 6 months to present their case. And Liz Hull "probably thought she was guilty" by the end of it. Might explain why some don't seem to have listened very attentively to the Defence case & closing speech. #LucyLetby From ep. 62, September 2023:

@JabesAllowed She ducked out of the defence closing for the fully catered prosecution press conference

@TomEvans80 @CPMorris1234 I thought this while watching the Netflix documentary generally. The cognitive dissonance was so apparent. "A bunch of events happened... all linked to one nurse. So we had an entirely impartial investigation with zero assumptions... and it led us to that nurse!!"
