Lucy Letby’s parents horrified as Netflix trailer shows video of Hereford home

​Speaking to The Sunday Times, Susan and John Letby also questioned why police had released video of Letby’s arrest, which took place inside the couple’s house where they have lived for 40 years. The couple raised concerns the documentary, titled The Investigation Of Lucy Letby, might make their home “become a tourist attraction”.
