Article Synopsis
- The case of Lucy Letby illustrates the difficulty of identifying serial killers in healthcare settings, emphasizing the need for improved statistical methods in legal investigations.
- A nurse was convicted for injecting an infant with insulin, and an analysis of 29 suspicious deaths in a geriatric unit revealed a significant correlation between her night shifts and the incidents.
- While statistical methods can enhance investigative targeting, they must complement thorough investigations to accurately determine the causes of death in suspicious cases.
