Breaking news this morning: Lucy Letby has been refused leave to appeal her convictions for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six more.
You can read more about Letby's convictions in our earlier article.
Leave to appeal was considered at the end of April by Lord Justice Holroyde, Lady Justice Sharp and Mrs Justice Lambert.
Speaking earlier, Lady Justice Sharp said: "This court, having heard her application, has decided to refuse leave to appeal on all grounds and refused all associated applications.
"A full judgment will be handed down in due course."
In the original trial the jury failed to return a verdict in relation to the attempted murder of Child K, a premature baby girl delivered only a few hours earlier, on 17th February 2016.
Letby will face a retrial on that count later this year.
