Grandfather of murdered girl Ellie Butler urges inquiry

British girl Ellie Butler’s death should be subject to a public inquiry, the murdered child’s grandfather has said.

Neal Gray said he wants everything “open and above board” as he recalled the suffering of the six-year-old, who was killed by her father, Ben Butler, in a fit of rage.

Jobless Butler, aged 36, who inflicted horrific head injuries on Ellie while left home alone to look after her and her younger sibling in October 2013, has been jailed for a minimum of 23 years for murder.
