Earlier today it was reported Letby's doting parents - who stood by her during her lengthy 10-month trial - are set to wave goodbye to their Hereford home and north to be close to where their evil child is locked up. The pair rented a flat in Manchester to be close to Manchester Crown Court so they could attend each day of the hearing.
And now, it is expected the couple are set to leave their beloved hometown of Hereford, where the serial killer grew up, and relocate more than 250 miles to Durham, where Letby will likely be housed for life at HM Low Newton. reports that neighbours of Jon, a furniture boss, and Susan, an accounts clerk, may never return to the sleepy Cathedral city in Herefordshire after turning into 'recluses'. Speaking to the paper, one neighbour said they had “hardly seen” the elderly couple since Letby was first arrested in July 2018.
They continued: “At first, they spent all their time at the back of the house and never even answered the phone. Then when the trial began last year, they rented a flat in Manchester so that they could attend the proceedings. This is a friendly cul-de-sac and people do feel for them, but I guess there will always be a bit of finger-pointing, and more so as new people move in who never knew John and Susan.”
