AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The parents of convicted child murderer Lucy Letby have criticized a forthcoming Netflix documentary, "The Investigation of Lucy Letby," for its use of footage taken during her arrest at their home. They claim the documentary, set to release on February 4th, is a "complete invasion of privacy" and expressed distress over the inclusion of video showing Letby's arrest in their house. The parents are concerned about the footage making their home a "tourist attraction" and questioned why police released the video. They also allege a lead investigator had a "deep hatred" of them, despite their cooperation. Letby is currently serving 14 whole-life terms for murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others between 2015 and 2016.
