Questions continue to circulate about the safety of Lucy Letby after online posts again claimed that the former neonatal nurse had been attacked while serving her sentence. The Ministry of Justice has rejected the rumour and said there has been no incident of that nature. Even so, the discussion has revived public interest in the conditions under which she is being held.

There is no verified evidence that Letby has been harmed in custody. Officials have not confirmed any assault and reports that rely on anonymous prison sources remain unsubstantiated. Despite this, speculation continues to spread online.
