Brit police baby probe

BRITISH police arrested a female health care worker Tuesday on suspicion of murdering eight babies and trying to kill six others at a hospital neonatal unit in northwestern England.

Detectives began investigating the deaths of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester more than a year ago, after the hospital reported a higher than expected mortality rate.

The investigation initially focused on the deaths of eight babies. Police are now looking at the deaths of 17 babies and 15 “non-fatal collapses” between March 2015 and July 2016.
