Exorcised by a preacher after her evil guardian convinced him her injuries were because she was possessed by demons, it is 25 years on Tuesday since eight–year-old Victoria Climbié’s horrific murder.

Starved, beaten, and tied up for months, when she died on February 25 2000, the little girl with the angelic face - who was born on Ivory Coast but died in London - had 128 separate injuries, inflicted by her guardians, Marie-Thérèse Kouao and Carl Manning, who were jailed for life in January 2001.
