    Christopher Rice (35) arrested in murder of his daughter Minnie Merriman (9) in Scotland

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c235evj1r04o

    The family of a nine-year-old girl who died after being found seriously injured on an industrial estate in Arbroath said they are "devastated" at her loss.

    Police have named her as Minnie Merriman from West Yorkshire. She died in Dundee's Ninewells Hospital on Monday.
    A 35-year-old man, who police said was known to the girl, has appeared in court charged with her murder.

    Christopher Rice from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, made no plea during an appearance in private at Forfar Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.

    He is expected to appear again in court next week.
    Police said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death and the other members of the family - who were camping in the area - are being supported by specialist officers.
    I want to know more, but with it being in Scotland I'm not sure we will find out much more.

    A couple of people on FB said that Scottish news reported three others were taken to the hospital from a tent, so I am not sure what is going on.

    NHS Tayside is investigating an alleged data breach into the medical records of a nine-year-old girl at the centre of a murder probe in Arbroath.

    Minnie Merriman, from West Yorkshire, died at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee after being found seriously injured at an industrial estate in the town.

    Her father has appeared in court charged with her murder.

    NHS Tayside said it was "investigating the circumstances" of the alleged breach that happened in a clinical area where staff access patient information.
    Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with Minnie's death and the other members of the family - who were camping in the area - are being supported by specialist officers.

    Her father Christopher Rice, 35, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, made no plea during an appearance in private at Forfar Sheriff Court on Wednesday and was remanded in custody.
