POLICE FAILED TO EXECUTE WARRANT BEFORE MAN KILLED PARTNER'S TODDLER

Police issued an arrest warrant against a man 18 months before he killed his partner's two-year-old daughter, but failed to execute it during that period. The child, named as Isabelle Welsh, died in September. Harrison Simpson, aged 22, and Alexandra Walker, aged 26, are named in connection with the death.

According to one account, Isabelle Welsh suffered what was described as a "campaign of violence" in the weeks before her death. The failure to arrest the warrant subject during the 18-month gap has prompted scrutiny of police procedures and oversight.
