Lucy Letby: Inquests to open into deaths of five babies murdered by former nurse

Inquests into five infant deaths linked to Letby at Countess of Chester Hospital begin amid ongoing investigations and legal reviews, with hearings paused until September.

  • The Netflix documentary 'The Investigation of Lucy Letby' features interviews with those close to the case, including Letby's friend 'Maisie' who shares Letby's emotional state in prison.
  • Parents of the victims criticized the documentary for invading their privacy by including footage of their home and expressed distress over its content.
  • Mark McDonald, Letby's criminal defense lawyer, claims she has 'no motive' and is seeking a retrial based on alternative explanations for the convictions.
