Brothers face more charges

TWO brothers jailed following the death of Baby Peter could face charges over an alleged attack on their grandmother, police said yesterday.

A cold case review relating to an assault on Hilda Barker in Whitstable, Kent, in late 1995 has been referred by the force to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Years before Peter’s death, Steven Barker and Jason Owen were accused of locking Hilda Barker, 82, in a wardrobe to make her change her will so they could benefit from it.
