On Tuesday, police said the parents of all the babies involved were kept completely up-to-date with development and supported by police.

Letoby was arrested by police in 2018 and 2019, but was released on bail until further investigation was conducted.

Following her previous arrest, her home in the Bracon area of ​​Chester was searched by police.

She worked in the unit as a student nurse during three years of training before qualifying as a child nurse at the University of Chester in 2011.

Letoby said he started working in the unit after graduating.
