In the season 3 special of British Murders, I tell the tragic story of the death of 6-year-old Ellie Butler.
In February 2007, when she was just 6 weeks old, Ellie was rushed to hospital with retinal haemorrhages, a subdural haemorrhage and swelling on the brain.
Her father, Ben Butler, was arrested and Ellie
went to live with her maternal grandparents for the next 5 years.
In November 2012, Ellie was ordered back into the custody of her birth parents by High Court Judge Mary Hogg.
On October 28, 2013, Ellie was murdered at home by her father.
In this second episode of the 2 part special, we'll be focusing on the events leading up to Ellie’s death.
