A nurse has been re-arrested by police investigating the deaths of a number of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit.
Lucy Letby, 28, was arrested on suspicion of murder in July last year in relation to the deaths of eight babies and the attempted murder of another six.
She was released on bail pending further inquiries.
Cheshire Police Detective Inspector Paul Hughes is leading the investigation into the deaths of 17 babies and 16 non-fatal collapses between March 2015 and July 2016.
After her re-arrest today, Detective Inspector Hughes announced three more charges against Ms Letby.
"As part of our ongoing investigation we have today (Monday 10 June) re-arrested the healthcare professional on suspicion of murder in relation to the deaths of eight babies and the attempted murder of six babies," he said.
"She has also been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of three additional babies."
