This Channel 5 documentary examines the case of Lucy Letby, a former neonatal nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder several others. The film explores the controversy and doubts surrounding the case and features insights from medical and legal experts who are seeking an official review.
The programme examines the wealth of new questions that have emerged since Letby’s conviction, including potential issues with the evidence presented by the CPS and the possibility of an undisclosed cause of illness on the wards. It also scrutinises Letby’s alleged ‘confession’.
The documentary is a follow-up to the channel’s previous documentary on the subject, ‘Lucy Letby: Did She Really Do It?’, which sparked debate and broke the silence surrounding the case. Now, a chorus of dissenting voices is emerging, with experts planning to take the case to Parliament and the highest courts in the land.
Lucy Letby: The New Evidence airs on Channel 5 at 9:00 PM on Sunday, 6 October 2024.
