Birth grandmother who tried and failed to adopt little Elsie Scully-Hicks before she was murdered by her adoptive father says her killer should be HANGED

The adoptive father of tragic 18-month-old Elsie Scully-Hicks should be hanged for his crime, the girl's biological grandmother has said.

Sian O'Brien said that Matthew Scully-Hicks, 31, got off 'quite lightly' when he was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 18 years in prison for murdering Elsie just two weeks after formally adopting her.
