Legal milestone

Inquests into deaths of five babies formally opened

Coroners formally open inquests into the deaths of five of the babies Letby was convicted of murdering. The opening occurs on the first anniversary of the CCRC's public announcement of the application receipt (4 February 2025) and the same day Netflix releases 'The Investigation of Lucy Letby'. Hearings are adjourned at opening; the inquests are subsequently relisted to provisionally 10 May 2027 in the 13 May 2026 coroner's decision, with the coroner citing the Thirlwall Inquiry's own delays as the reason.
