“That is to gauge her mood and state of mind. All the inmates are talking about the Netflix show and mocking Letby about it. Some have teased her about the opening scene, which shows her arrest. Others have mocked her claims of innocence, saying her appeal will fail. They have been saying stuff like, ‘You’re staying here, Lucy’.”

Lucy Letby’s family also aren’t impressed by the use of arrest footage in the Netflix film. Speaking to The Sunday Times, Susan and John Letby said they had not been told that footage filmed inside their home would be used in the show. They said they now fear their home will become a “tourist attraction”.

“We had no idea they were using footage in our house,” they said. “We will not watch it – it would likely kill us if we did. We have, however, stumbled on pictures of her being arrested in her bedroom in our house and her saying goodbye to one of her beloved cats, which are even more distressing. Heaven knows how much more they have to show.”

The Investigation of Lucy Letby is available on Netflix now. For all the latest Netflix news and drops, like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook.
