Qld DPP Drops Murder Charges
What is being reported:
Charges against the Mackay parents accused of murdering their toddler daughter have been dropped.
Murder charges will not go ahead against Mackay parents who have always maintained their innocence over their daughter's death.
The DPP says there is no prospect of proving murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
What is not being reported:
There was never any prospect of charges succeeding. The evidence was clear in many medical reports that Diana passed away from undiagnosed leukaemia that led to sepsis.
There are questions around Mackay Base Hospital's version of events.
Police tried to plant evidence at the Hanbury's home in the form of burying a child's dress and then digging it up in an attempt to use it as evidence.
