THE cop who caught serial baby-killer Beverley Allitt has told of his belief that jailed nurse Lucy Letby is innocent of the crime.
Retired Det Supt Stuart Clifton has been reviewing the evidence against the 36-year-old — serving 15 whole-life sentences for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others at Countess of Chester hospital.

The development comes after police last week confirmed Letby faces no further charges — offering her hope that the Criminal Cases Review Commission will sanction a new appeal.
And a hearing yesterday laid the groundwork to reopen inquests into Letby’s victims.
