Reporting that Cheshire Constabulary made payments to a production company—run by the co-host of a podcast heavily asserting Letby’s guilt—is deeply troubling. This potentially represents a serious conflict of interest. An investigation is essential.


The outgoing Chief Inspector of Constabulary has stated that the police's failure to follow reasonable lines of inquiry is 'inexcusable' and that the police "can't keep apologising for poor investigations". He raises an important point. In my adjournment debate on the Lucy Letby case on Thursday, I quoted The Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, which requires: 'that where a criminal investigation is conducted, all reasonable steps are taken for the purposes of the investigation and, in particular, all reasonable lines of inquiry are pursued’. I also quoted Paragraph 3.5 of the Code of Practice under that Act, which states ‘In conducting an investigation, the investigator should pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry, whether these point towards or away from the suspect.” In the case of Lucy Letby, Cheshire police did not follow the letter of the law or best professional practice. thetimes.com/article/bdfccf…
