David Davis hopes to visit Lucy Letby in prison as part of an investigation into whether the serial baby killer may be the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

The veteran Tory MP is analysing the evidence used to convict the neonatal nurse of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more between 2015 and 2016 after concerns were raised about the case.

The former Brexit secretary is interviewing experts and poring over thousands of court documents after doubts were cast over Letby’s guilt.

Speaking to The Daily T podcast, Mr Davis revealed he would attempt to visit the 34-year-old in HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where she is serving 15 whole life sentences, if he was “at least three-quarters persuaded that she’s innocent”.

He told hosts Camilla Tominey and Gordon Rayner: “I may not be allowed to, her lawyer may say no; she may say no. That’s got to be with her permission.

“For me to do anything about this, I’ve got to be at least three-quarters persuaded that she’s innocent. I’ll read millions of words of evidence over August and come to a conclusion in probably September or maybe October, but if I do come to the conclusion that she’s innocent, I’ll be raising it in Parliament and seeking to get a Criminal Case Review Commission referral.

“But if it doesn’t persuade me, then I won’t waste the prison governor’s time. If I conclude that Letby is guilty, then I’m going to drop this.”

I do think that this case needs objective scrutiny. A full review of the evidence.
