"The previous programmes made about Lucy, including Panorama and the almost nightly news showing her being brought out handcuffed in a blue tracksuit, are heartbreaking for us. However, this Netflix documentary is on another level. We had no idea they were using footage in our house. We will not watch it it would likely kill us if we did."
"According to the trailer, The Investigation of Lucy Letby will feature footage that has never been released publicly, as well as interviews with police and lawyers. It is due to be released on 4 February. It includes video of officers arresting Letby on suspicion of murder and attempted murder while she is sitting in bed, before she is led out of the property in her dressing gown."
"All this taking place in the home where we have lived for 40 years. It is in a small cul-de-sac in a small town where everyone knows everyone, they said. It is a complete invasion of privacy, of which we would have known nothing if Lucy's barrister had not told us."
Susan and John Letby criticised Netflix for planning to include footage filmed in their house of their daughter's arrest, calling the use of that material a complete invasion of privacy. They said prior broadcasts showing Lucy being brought out handcuffed were heartbreaking, but described the new documentary as being on another level and said they would not watch it because it would likely kill them. The documentary is said to contain previously unreleased footage and interviews, and includes video of officers arresting Lucy in bed and leading her out in a dressing gown. The parents expressed fear that their home could become a tourist attraction and said they were unaware of the footage until told by Lucy's barrister. Lucy Letby is serving multiple whole-life terms after convictions for murdering and attempting to murder infants between June 2015 and June 2016.
