The Netflix Lucy Letby documentary will feature never before seen footage
The documentary will highly focus around never before seen footage to tell the story. Videos of the moment Lucy Letby was arrested, in bed, have never been released publicly. Viewers will also get to see pictures of the evidence used against her, and clips and audios from her police interviews.
There are also exclusive testimonials from those closest to the case, including interviews with senior detectives at Cheshire Police.
Letby was found to have written a note in which she said “I killed them on purpose”. When asked about this, she replied: “No comment.” Despite this, doubt has been cast over her conviction ever since it happened.

Netflix has described the show as an “unprecedented look into one of the most controversial cases of our time.” It will explore five key questions. Did this unassuming nurse really kill babies in her care? If so, why? Why is there seemingly no motive? Was Lucy Letby a victim too? Was this a miscarriage of justice?
