On Saturday morning I received an email from Dewi Evans: "Dear Peter, Not heard from you recently. Is this why? Dewi Evans" (he referred to this post - https://t.co/RFRR3jmMk6).
I immediately replied, "Dear Dewi, Lovely to hear from you. The reason you have not heard from me is that you stopped responding to my messages so I gave up. Do you not remember this? Regardless, why does Deb Roberts think that I said that Mark McDonald had not been formally instructed? Where did I write that? Best wishes, Peter"
He did not respond so I sent him an email on Saturday afternoon asking, "Hi Dewi, are you going to respond to me? BW, Peter".
He did not respond to that either so I am writing this post.
He is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm told by experts that my extensive correspondence with him over the last year will be useful with respect to Letby's appeal court applications, whenever they are made.
This is a "man" who values troll garbage. He is a former doctor who values the medical input of a troll, and one who has no medical experience. He is erratic in terms of when he chooses to write/respond to me. He is erratic in terms of WHAT he writes to me.
But he is the "man" who got an innocent nurse put away.
Dear British justice system, you might JUST want to reconsider stricter selection criteria for expert witnesses.

"THIS is the documentary Netflix needed to have made".
That's the top voted comment on the first part of The Botched Investigation Of Lucy Letby.
The film has just passed 100,000 views - thanks to everyone who has watched and shared.

@LilyBartx@HenryB12345@maggiem67582865@MartynPitman@markjurgenmayes They didn’t get away with it. RCPCH report came out and Lucy Letby won her grievance. They expected to be reported to the GMC. Hospital management was talking about “managing them out”. That’s why they ran in a desperate panic to the police. Ravi Jayaram said so, explicitly.
"Although this has been very traumatic, my strong desire to remain in Chester and within CoCH remains, and I am hopeful that we can find a professional way forward to enable my return to where I feel I belong."
Read the letter Lucy Letby wrote to her accusers after a hospital grievance investigation found in her favour, and she was told she could come back to work: https://t.co/tMAeTOE160
Alas, Letby never came back to work.
A few weeks after she wrote this letter, and right before she was scheduled to return, one of her accusers, Dr Ravi Jayaram, told the hospital that he'd once walked in on her trying to murder a baby.
It only took Dr Jayaram a year and a month to tell the hospital about this – about walking in on an attempted murder on a baby.
It took Letby winning an HR complaint against him for Dr Jayaram to speak up.
Once he did, the hospital called in the police.
@MartynPitman@RonsRant@reasonoverfear@NeoDoc11 I have been reliably informed by both neonatal nurses and doctors that Child D was off-the-chart levels of incompetence.
I must say that Child E must be up there from my understanding. They also failed to diagnose Child O correctly and made multiple blunders.
@Sunraged@robert_vanes@DrSusanOliver1@Bungles71 What Oliver doesn’t appear to be aware of is that Cheshire Police *literally handed* me my Op Hummingbird review in 2023 after my employment ended, when they returned my office items to me. This was when I first became interested in the Letby case and realised it was a MOJ.
So grateful to @drphilhammond, whose latest column is out today, for posing the question I've spent more than a year asking the @Thirlwall_Inq, only to be met with stonewalling.
Did the Thirlwall Inquiry sit on exculpatory evidence ahead of Lucy Letby's retrial?
Specifically, did the Thirlwall Inquiry sit on an explosive email by one of her main accusers, Dr Ravi Jayaram, which completely demolished his claim of walking in on her trying to murder a baby?
Did Lady Justice Thirlwall and her team of silks, whether deliberately or by unfortunate oversight, sit on this evidence, and thus allow Letby to be retried, then convicted, then sentenced to life, on a charge that, by the prosecutor's own admission, stood or fell on Dr Jayaram's credibility?
Did the Thirlwall Inquiry do this?
For whatever reason, the Thirlwall Inquiry refuses to say.
Today is the one-year anniversary of @DavidDavisMP writing to Cheshire Police requesting an investigation into Dr Ravi Jayaram. This was first reported here:
https://t.co/BogTRCDTgH
I’m not going to reiterate the issues with Jayaram’s court testimony, this has been authoritatively established here:
https://t.co/PeBCfSwm85
We were informed at the time that “the chief constable has received the letter, this has been reviewed and he will be responding in due course addressing all the concerns raised.”
I accept that “in due course” references an indeterminate period of time. It does, however, typically imply that there will be a relatively prompt response.
It is notable that when Sir David spoke in parliament on the many obvious blunders inherent in Operation Hummingbird, the response from the Chief Constable of Cheshire Police, while execrable in quality, was considerably more swift.
I accept that an investigation into Jayaram’s comments would take longer, but this is a relatively straightforward matter. It does not require a complex investigation.
We have already reasonably traversed beyond the point where “due course” has elapsed. Will we ever hear any more about this?

@EruthmaEruthmas@BlancBlanc71089@MartynPitman@ClarkeMicah@ContrarianJolly Another question: why did it take Dr Ravi Jayaram over a year to tell the hospital that he'd walked in Lucy Letby trying to kill a baby?
This is what the hospital executives told the @Thirlwall_Inq. Not a single person has disputed this astonishing timeline. Not even Jayaram.
This is an important point that most people may not be aware of. In 2022 I was permitted supervised access to my seized personal laptop at @cheshirepolice HQ - this was part of my Employment Tribunal disclosure provisions.
I quickly discovered that Cheshire Police had removed 6 months of my personal emails - dated between March 2019 & Sept 2019 - they even conceded in open court that they had managed to ‘lose’ this evidence.
This crucial evidence covered what international forensic experts had determined about the #WilmslowMurders (#SilverKiller) and they also covered what a senior Cheshire Police detective said to me when I informed him that the Wilmslow cases were definitely double murders and not murder suicides.
I later spoke with a former police forensic IT expert about these missing emails. His response to me was:
“Stef, the police have *definitely* tampered with your laptop, emails just don’t accidentally disappear like that”
This evidence was exculpatory evidence for me - but it incriminated Cheshire Police and its senior police officers. I wanted my laptop to be forensically tested by an independent authority.
I requested the return of my laptop multiple times, and I asked what legislation they were using to keep hold of it. But I was ignored each time. Professional Standards even said to me “We’re keeping it” without saying how they were actually legally allowed to keep it.
Later in 2022 as part of my grievance investigation, @gmpolice ordered @cheshirepolice to return my personal laptop to me as they had no legal basis to keep hold of it.
But Cheshire Police ignored this directive and instead they chose to destroy my laptop. They destroyed what was my personal property - that had all my past academic work stored on it, as well as my childhood memories.
This is the same police force that ‘investigated’ #LucyLetby. I wouldn’t be surprised if exculpatory evidence has mysteriously gone missing for her too. Maybe this is why they refuse to disclose the SIO decision logs 🤔
There needs to be an independent investigation into this police force, and for all complex death investigations to be removed from them immediately. My own experience has taught me that you cannot underestimate the lengths that this police force will go to, to cover up their fundamental incompetence and repeated failures to investigate complex cases properly.

Dear Ms. Hull,
As we've paid your friend Caroline's production company already, which you have never commented on despite this featuring in the Daily Telegraph:
https://t.co/dfEsKDPpfc
...we have, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided to approach you exclusively. In fact, everyone with a vested interest in the prosecution approaches you, knowing that you will probe them about as much as the the Spanish Inquisition do in the Monty Python sketch, where they poke those apprehended with soft cushions.
Naturally, there is nothing of substance in this letter whatsoever, in which we simply parrot several things that are on the public record already, and which no one disputes. We address nothing of any substance from the parliamentary speech, and provide no evidence for any of our assertions.
It is impossible for us to detract attention from the fact that we had no intention of investigating this matter, until Dr. Stephen Brearey and Dr. Ravi Jayaram walked into Blacon police station, on 15th May, 2017, and very obviously pointed the finger at Lucy Letby:
https://t.co/lxfHAa3av3
Prior to that, we had concluded that there was “no evidence other than coincidence”.
https://t.co/qRJE50mqQj
Based on our own record, not only did we very obviously accept the consultants' version of events uncritically, but we even involved them in the investigation. We cannot deny this, because we have already made several public statements indicating this, as indeed has Brearey.:
https://t.co/oEDzJEOrpm
The description of Brearey and Jayaram as the "golden thread" in the investigation is so well-known that is has practically become meme-worthy at this point.
It would therefore be fairly extraordinary if we had followed all lines of inquiry as claimed (naturally an unevidenced claim), considering that we moved rapidly from having no intention of investigating to involving the consultants in the selection of cases. It seems under these circumstances pretty unlikely that we ever treated the consultants as suspects, or indeed questioned their motives in any way. This decision to involve the accusers of Lucy Letby in the investigation renders our so-called 'sterile corridor' pretty worthless.
While we invited the consultants to speak with us, Lucy Letby was never afforded such an opportunity until she was arrested. This was despite the fact that she made it very clear that she was happy to speak with us. Luckily, our brilliant SIO, Paul 'Brains' Hughes, deduced that this email was suspicious because Lucy knew the name of Operation Hummingbird. Again, this is all on the public record, we have voluntarily revealed this in a Netflix documentary that ethically should never have been made in the first place. We also claimed that we had no choice other than to arrest Lucy, which is very obviously an utterly bogus statement.
Of course, we're not going to release any documents that support anything we've said, in fact we will fight tooth-and-nail to avoid releasing documents that are needed by the defence, which should be turned over automatically if we were genuinely confident in the investigation.
This only scratches the surface of ways in which my letter is tripe, and, frankly, I shouldn't be writing to you in the first place, as it's deeply unprofessional. In fact, you yourself described this as 'unprecedented' as if it's a good thing! It's not a good thing!
Still, I know that you've been practicing your writing recently, Liz, so I'm sure you'll manage to hack something together.
Your friend,
So-and-so from Cheshire Police
PS. Paul and Danielle say hello.
PPS. We are still investigating Storm Darragh, and hope to provide updates shortly.
PPPS. No, we haven't watched the documentary on the Silver Killer.
