THE brother of a tragic toddler who died in care more than 60 years ago has demanded to know why police have not launched a murder probe.
Peter Kelbie believes two-year-old Alexina was murdered when she died of a major head injury while living with foster parents in Dundee in 1960, but no criminality was established.
Police Scotland apologised to the tot's family in 2022 after a review revealed they were not alerted to harrowing evidence of abuse and extensive injuries which had remained hidden for decades.
Now Police Scotland's Professional Standards Department is examining Peter's calls for a fresh probe into Alexina's death and his demands to see more evidence in his sister's case.
He said: "Sorry is one thing but dealing with justice is another.
"Police Scotland should have reopened the case in 2022 and they should have exhumed Alexina due to the new evidence released. What the hold up is, I don't know.
There is a lot more to Alexina's death than meets the eye. I don't think they'll exhume Alexina and sadly I don't think she, mum or dad will ever get justice.
