A man accused of murdering his nine-year-old daughter, Minnie Merriman, is set to stand trial, after she dies from injuries in Scotland. Minnie, from West Yorkshire, is found seriously injured at an industrial estate in Arbroath, Angus, and later dies in hospital.
The allegations arise from events reported around the early hours of August 3. One report says she is found shortly after midnight, while another describes her death following discovery at the industrial estate. Both accounts identify her father as the person charged in connection with her death, with court proceedings now moving toward trial. The coverage focuses on the timing and location of Minnie’s injuries and the subsequent death, while providing differing levels of detail on the sequence of events.
The case is ongoing, with the father accused of murder facing the next stage of the legal process.
