Overview
- New footage in The Investigation of Lucy Letby shows bodycam video of Letby’s arrests and police interviews, prompting privacy complaints from her parents over the use of scenes filmed inside their home.
- The film and follow-on reporting highlight that Letby kept about 250 shift handover sheets at home in a box marked “keep,” with police noting evasive answers about disposal and a claim she lacked a shredder despite owning one.
- A 16-expert panel co-chaired by Professor John Ashton and Dr Mike Bewick has published a briefing asserting the deaths were better explained by medical causes or systemic failings rather than criminal acts.
- Letby’s new defence team, led by barrister Mark McDonald, says it has submitted evidence from 26 experts spanning roughly 1,000 pages to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, with a referral decision still pending.
- Separate reports citing unnamed prison sources claim HMP Bronzefield staff have increased checks to hourly and hold daily welfare conversations after inmates mocked Letby over the documentary.
