Netflix Doc on Lucy Letby Sets February Release Date
Netflix is set to release a new feature documentary about Lucy Letby, the British neonatal nurse who was convicted of murdering seven babies under her care. Titled “The Investigation of Lucy Letby,” the 90-minute documentary will premiere globally on Feb. 4 and promises to offer viewers new materials and testimony from the British police who investigated the case.
The documentary will also include never-before-seen footage of Letby during her arrest and questioning, as well as an interview with the mother of one of the victims. This marks the first time a family member involved in the prosecution has spoken out publicly. Additionally, experts and lawyers from both sides of the case will provide their insights and analysis.
Letby, who is now 36 years old, was found guilty of murdering seven infants between June 2015 and June 2016, as well as the attempted murders of seven others. She was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order, meaning she will spend the rest of her life behind bars. In a retrial in July 2024, Letby was again found guilty of an attempted murder charge that the jury had previously failed to reach a verdict on.
The case of Lucy Letby has gripped and divided the U.K., with some expressing doubt over the medical and statistical evidence that led to her conviction. “The Investigation of Lucy Letby” is produced by ITN Productions and directed by Dominic Sivyer, with Caroline Short and Ian Rumsey serving as executive producers.
Viewers can watch the trailer for the documentary below, which promises to shed new light on this tragic and controversial case. Stay tuned for the premiere of “The Investigation of Lucy Letby” on Netflix next month.
