The Canadian doctor who thrust British nurse Lucy Letby’s murder convictions back into the spotlight

In the basement of his farmhouse near Edmonton, retired neonatologist Shoo Lee pored over 35,000 pages of medical records and witness statements used as evidence in the case of British nurse Lucy Letby, who was convicted of murdering seven newborns and trying to kill seven others.The Canadian doctor led a little-known 14-person panel of international medical experts to examine the causes of death or injury of the babies over the course of a year at Countess of Chester Hospital where Ms. Letby worked. Dr. Lee, who testified at one of Ms. Letby’s failed appeals, volunteered to convene the panel after he grew concerned that she was convicted in 2023 on flawed medical evidence.
