The blonde was released by cops after she was quizzed over the deaths of eight infants at the neonatal ward of the Countess of Chester Hospital.

She was also questioned about the attempted murder of six other newborns.

It is part of an inquiry by Cheshire Police into the deaths of 17 babies and 15 non-fatal collapses at the hospital which were first noticed by consultants in 2015.

Letby was seized at her £180,000 semi-detached home in Blacon, Chester, and cops searched her home.
