Child serial killer Lucy Letby has been found guilty of trying to kill a premature baby girl just hours after birth.
Former neonatal nurse Letby, 34, was last year convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
The jury failed to reach a verdict on an allegation of attempted murder of Baby K and a decision was taken to hold a re-trial.
Letby has now been found guilty of the attempted murder of Baby K on February 17, 2016, and will be sentenced on Friday, July 5.
The parents of the baby gasped and cried as the verdict was read after three and a half hours of deliberations.
Letby showed no emotion.
She is currently serving 14 whole life orders which means there is no minimum term or chance of early release.
Only three other women have received whole life orders in the UK.
In a statement read outside court by police, the family of Child K said: "Justice has been served and a nurse who should have been caring for our daughter has been found guilty of harming her.
"But this justice will not take away the extreme hurt, anger and distress that we have all had to experience."
Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Evans, who is the Deputy Senior Investigating Officer, added: "This has been a long and painful journey for the parents of Baby K — having to face continual denials and sitting through very personal and upsetting evidence in the original trial and again at the re-trial.
"Their courage, strength and resilience is absolutely remarkable.
"I would like to thank them for continuing to put their faith in us and I hope that the conclusion today provides them with some peace of mind and some of the answers they have been searching for.
"Once again, there are no winners in this case. Today is not a time for celebration — it is a time for reflection and a time for the family of Baby K.
"My thoughts — and those of the whole prosecution team — remain with them at this incredibly difficult time."
Manchester Crown Court had heard that Baby K was born at 25 weeks in the early hours of February 17, 2016.
She was transferred to the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Just hours after Baby K was born, Letby dislodged her breathing tube, the prosecution said.
A senior doctor who worked on the unit said he entered the nursery to find Letby standing over the baby's incubator.
Her blood oxygen levels were dropping, no alarm was sounding and Letby was doing nothing.
The prosecution stated that Letby had deliberately interfered with the baby's ET tube, intending to kill the newborn.
The defence argued that there was no evidence to suggest Letby had inflicted harm on Baby K — and that she had been waiting for the baby to self-correct.
The little girl was subsequently transferred out of the neonatal unit to a specialist hospital due to her extreme prematurity.
She died three days later, although it was not the prosecution case that Letby had caused her death.
After a trial spanning 10 days, the jury dismissed Letby's version of events and agreed that she was responsible for attempting to murder Baby K.
DCI Evans added: "A trained nurse responsible for caring and protecting a tiny, premature baby abused that position of trust in the most unthinkable way.
"The continued denials have caused significant upset for Baby K's family as they have had to endure a trial and subsequent re-trial. No-one should ever have to go through what they experienced."
