New inquest opens into Poppi Worthington's death

A new inquest has been opened into the sudden death of a 13 month old girl.

The first inquest into Poppi Worthington's death lasted just seven minutes, called for no evidence, and was later judged to have been 'irregular'.

Since then, a judge ruled during care proceedings that her father probably sexually assaulted the little girl before her death.
