Overview
- Netflix released a 90‑minute film on February 4 featuring previously unseen police bodycam of Letby’s arrests, interview excerpts, and anonymised contributions including a friend reading prison letters in which Letby maintains her innocence.
- The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed in January that, after reviewing additional material from Cheshire Police, it will bring no further charges related to other deaths or collapses on the neonatal unit.
- Letby, 36, remains in prison serving 15 whole‑life orders for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of seven others, after appeal bids were refused in 2024.
- The Criminal Cases Review Commission is considering evidence submitted by Letby’s representatives, including an international panel of medical experts who dispute aspects of the trial’s medical evidence.
- Inquests connected to several babies’ deaths have been opened and adjourned pending a wider public inquiry, while the documentary has drawn criticism over its use of digital anonymisation and prompted objections from Letby’s parents to the use of home bodycam footage.
