Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal against a conviction for the murder of a two-year-old child, affirming the original decision of the Central Criminal Court, on the grounds that there was no error or oversight that would justify overturning the conviction, the CCTV footage was properly admitted, the police interviews were conducted appropriately and the jury was correctly instructed on the use of circumstantial evidence.
