Scots’ law could have protected murdered toddler Liam Fee

A scheme aimed at improving child protection had not been put in place “in terms of the legislation” for murdered toddler Liam Fee, the Scottish government has said.
The two-year-old died after being subjected to a catalogue of abuse and neglect at the hands of his mother Rachel Trelfa, 31, and her partner Nyomi Fee, 29, who are now facing life in prison.
