Lucy Letby’s former “boyfriend,” described in media reports as a married doctor who worked with her at the Countess of Chester Hospital, has died, multiple outlets report. Coverage links the man’s death to his testimony during Letby’s trial, where he reportedly shifted his stance.
The reports say the doctor worked alongside Letby as a registrar at the hospital in 2016, about two years before Letby was first arrested. They also describe prior personal contact between the two, including references to Letby calling him “best friend” and “love.”
Other details of the death and the extent of any relationship are presented with differing emphasis across outlets, but the shared focus is on his role in the case and his professional association with Letby during the period before her arrest.
