Senior former Trust executive re-arrested for perverting the course of justice

Cheshire Police confirm one of the three former Countess of Chester senior leadership-team members previously arrested on 30 June 2025 has been re-arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. The re-arrest follows the execution of a search warrant on 22 April 2026. The investigation, known operationally as Operation Duet, is institutional — directed at the senior-leadership conduct in 2015–2016 — and runs independently of the Letby convictions and the CCRC review of those convictions.
