Grieving brother rejects £25k compo from Scots cops who withheld evidence that tot who died in care was assaulted

A grieving brother has rejected a £25,000 compensation offer from Police Scotland after officers withheld evidence over his sister's death.
Toddler Alexina Kelbie, 2, died of a head injury suffered while living with foster parents in Dundee in 1960, but no criminality was established by officers at the time.
