Susan and Jonathan Letby are reportedly planning to move closer to HMP Low Newton, where their daughter Lucy Letby will spend the rest of her days. This news has been revealed by the Letby's neighbours, who say that while Jonathan was reluctant to make the move, Susan was adamant.
One neighbour said, “She’s their life really, and they’re convinced of her innocence, but eventually they may have to let her go.” Another neighbour commented on the couple's state of mind since their daughter's first arrest in 2018, saying they have hardly been seen.
The Letby's attended every day of their daughter's trial, and even moved out of their home to rent a flat near Manchester Crown Court. However, when the court read out the first round of guilty verdicts, they refused to come to the sentencing.
Lucy Letby has been given a whole life tariff for murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more while working in the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit. As people search for answers, nothing significant has come out about her upbringing, and the only complaint from Letby was that her parents were “a little suffocating”.
The jury heard how the Letby's were upset when their daughter did not return home after university, something which Letby admitted made her feel guilty. She even explained to a friend that she couldn't leave her parents, as they worried massively and would be devastated.
Lastly, when Letby was arrested again in June 2019 and November 2020, her mother pleaded with police to take her instead, claiming ‘I did it.’ After all this, it makes sense that the Letby's want to move closer to their daughter, to remain supportive and close to her during her lifetime sentence.
