The Conservative MP David Davis has used parliamentary privilege to ask why UK readers were barred from viewing an article in a prominent US magazine about the case of the former nurse Lucy Letby.
He told fellow MPs that the block on the story published in the New Yorker seemed “in defiance of open justice”.
Letby was convicted last summer of murdering seven babies at the Countess of Chester hospital, where she was a neonatal nurse.
The New Yorker published a 13,000-word piece about her case on Monday but UK readers are blocked from accessing it online.
Under English law, British media are restricted in their reporting owing to Letby’s upcoming retrial.
I will just simply make a point on the Lucy Letby case – that the jury’s verdict must be respected.
The original article contains 298 words, the summary contains 132 words. Saved 56%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
