In the season 3 special of British Murders, I tell the tragic story of the preventable death of 6-year-old Ellie May Butler.⁣In February 2007, when she was just 6 weeks old, Ellie was rushed to hospital with retinal haemorrhages, a subdural haemorrhage and swelling on the brain.⁣Her father, Ben Butler, was arrested and Ellie ⁣went to live with her maternal grandparents for the next 5 years.⁣In November 2012, Ellie was ordered back into the custody of her birth parents by High Court Judge Mary Hogg.⁣On October 28, 2013, less than a year later, Ellie was murdered at home by her father.⁣In this second episode of the 2 part special, we'll be focusing on the events leading up to Ellie’s death.⁣For all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/ Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic My recording equipment:Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3F1JkkjCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8Recorded and Edited in:AudacityMastered in:AuphonicReferences:https://www.britishmurders.com/elliebutlerpart2/ Learn more about your ad choices.
