Former Liberal Democrat Justice Minister Simon Hughes has called for the Police and CPS to look again at the investigation into the death of 13 month old Poppi Worthington. He said:
There is an investigation by the IPCC about whether police did their job properly in this case and due to be a second inquest into Poppi’s death. I’m sure Cumbria Police and the CPS will now also want to look again at the evidence in the public domain.
“In the light of the public judgment in the family court case, police and the CPS should now reopen and review this case. If our justice system is about justice for the deceased as well as the living and above all about the welfare of children still alive, then it must be in the general interests of justice that there is a further review of this case.If there have been failings by police and other public authorities, then all opportunities to put these right as far as possible must now be taken.
He was talking about this on the Today programme this morning. You can listen <ahref=”http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06wf6n5#play”>here at 1 hour and 9 minutes in.
