Officials have reported that child serial killer nurse Lucy Letby has officially applied to contest her sentencing at the Court of Appeal. The 33-year-old, who was sentenced to a whole life term for killing seven babies and assaulting six others, is set to begin her attempts to reveal herself at a court hearing later this month. One father, whose baby Letby tried to murder, told the Mail: "I'm disgusted and angry that Letby is appealing.' If we haven't been through enough, we can't be in a situation to be able to.' We're trying to recover our lives, and now this is a joke of a system. I'm not sure if she's appealing on the grounds she can appeal - there were no supporting factors in the lawsuit.' Letby's request comes after a scientist argued that the prosecution against her was based on "unreliable expert opinion" and "a poor grasp" of science.
