Father 'threw girl off cliff to avoid child support'

A father threw his four-year-old daughter off a cliff into the Pacific Ocean to avoid paying child support to her British mother, a court in the US has heard.

Opening the murder retrial of Cameron Brown, 47, yesterday, prosecutors said the accused had no interest in his child Lauren Sarene Key and motivated by financial gain, hurled the girl off Inspiration Point in Rancho Palos Verdes, California in 2000.
