Matthew Scully-Hicks, 31, from Cardiff, subjected 18-month-old Elsie Scully-Hicks to months of horrific assaults before killing her in an attack so severe her tiny body looked like it had been in a ‘car crash’. Scully-Hicks, who was married to husband Craig, was visited 15 times by social workers and he made numerous visits to the GP and A&E when he injured Elsie. But professionals always viewed his care of 18-month-old Elsie through a ‘positive lens’ and felt her adoption to the middle class and well-educated gay couple was going well. The toddler suffered a broken leg, mystery bruising including one so severe it lasted for eight weeks but each time the injuries were written off as common accidents or illnesses. On May 29 2016 Elsie died after her adoptive father shook her so violently her brain and eyes started bleeding before throwing her headfirst into the floor and fracturing her skull. Today Vale of Glamorgan Council social services chief Lance Carver apologised to Elsie’s natural family – but also admitted no-one has been disciplined over her murder.
