Cumbria's senior coroner has sent a copy of his findings, external in the Poppi Worthington inquest to the Crown Prosecution Service, it emerged today.

Mr Roberts said in his conclusion that he did not believe Poppi's death was a case of unlawful killing, but he said he did believe on the balance of probabilities, which is not enough to prove a criminal offence, that Mr Worthington had abused his daughter before her death,

A spokesman for the coroner said: "It is now up to the CPS as independent prosecutors to decided what if anything might be done".

The coroner's findings had also been sent to other public bodies on a distribution list.
