One of the most high-profile cases in UK history, The Investigation Of Lucy Letby, is investigated in a new Netflix documentary. See the trailer here.
The case of Lucy Letby is one of the most shocking in UK legal history. A former neonatal nurse killed seven infants and attempted to murder seven more between June 2015 and June 2016. In August 2023, she received a life sentence with a whole life order for her crimes. Over the past few years, doubts have crept in over her guilt. Some people now claim she is innocent of the crimes and offer new evidence to support her. Whether she is guilty or innocent remains a bone of contention. I have my thoughts on whether she is a murderess or not. They will remain private. However, that doesn’t prevent TV programs and documentaries from actively investigating her case.
Netflix is releasing a new documentary film that will explore the case of Lucy Letby, the British neonatal nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. Letby’s actions have made her the UK’s most prolific child murderer. The documentary’s trailer has already been released.
ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY

The documentary also includes contributions from the mother of one of the victims, speaking about her experiences and involvement in Letby’s trial. This is the first time that a family member involved in the prosecution has spoken in a documentary.
