Toddler was in ‘severe danger’ before killing

CAMPAIGNERS said yesterday there was evidence that a toddler killed by his mother’s boyfriend had been in “severe danger” — despite a report saying his death could not have been predicted.

Child protection bosses insisted the probe into the death of Brandon Muir in Dundee was not a whitewash.

A review into the killing of the 23-month-old boy said there was “little opportunity” to prevent the fatal assault by drug addict Robert Cunningham.
