Ben Butler denies murdering six-year-old daughter

A man accused of beating his six-year-old daughter to death in a fit of rage, has told a court how he believes he is the subject of an unfair trial for a second time.

Ben Butler, 36, was jailed in 2007 for cruelty and assaulting his daughter Ellie when she was a few weeks old, but his conviction was overturned.

He is now on trial at the Old Bailey accused of murdering her five years later.
