Inquiry into Nurse Letby Lacks Merit, Critics Argue
Questions raised about the necessity and cost of a prolonged investigation into a case where actual murders are increasingly doubted.

The extensive two-year, £18 million inquiry into the case of nurse Lucy Letby has been called "ludicrous" by critics who suggest it is increasingly unlikely that any murders actually occurred.
Weeks after the commencement of the Thirlwall hearings, legal defenders for Letby reportedly offered the presiding judge a way to circumvent the investigation's problematic remit. The inquiry, initiated following Letby's conviction for the murder and attempted murder of infants, is now facing scrutiny over its substantial cost and duration, particularly in light of doubts about the foundational premise of widespread criminal activity.
