Murdered baby Iqra Bibi might not have had to endure three weeks of hell at the hands of her father if health systems had not failed her, police revealed today.

And now a senior child protection officer has called for procedures to be reviewed following the killing of the tragic toddler by her father.

Two-year-old Iqra, who was only 2ft 7ins tall, died from a brain injury after her father, Mohammed Fiaz Qadar, repeatedly punched her in the head in a fit of rage because she was crying.

The full version of this story is in this evening's Telegraph & Argus, and will appear on the website later tonight.
