Early one morning in July 2018, Lucy Letby was led away from her home in handcuffs after being arrested for the first time.
The neonatal nurse, 28 at the time, was to be questioned about truly unthinkable crimes that, upon conviction, would make her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times.
Her arrest followed a painstaking two-year investigation by Cheshire Police that, at its height, involved nearly 70 officers and civilian staff.
The sole focus of Operation Hummingbird was to investigate the alarming and unexplained rise in deaths and near-fatal collapses of premature babies in the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.
Within hours, news of Letby's arrest was making headlines around the world.

She was initially released on police bail but was subsequently arrested twice more and then ultimately charged in November 2020.
Since October, the now 33-year-old has been on trial at Manchester Crown Court, accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others between June 2015 and June 2016.
She steadfastly denied all of the 22 charges against her but was found guilty of seven counts of murder and seven of attempted murder, involving six babies.
Letby was acquitted on two counts of attempted murder while jurors were unable to reach verdicts on six other attempted murder charges, involving four babies.
The jury of seven women and four men had deliberated for more than 110 hours after hearing nine months of harrowing evidence.

And found the nurse who claimed it was a hospital conspiracy, guilty of all charges.
