A father committed suicide after a hate mob wrongly blamed the parents of a baby girl who was killed by an incorrectly prescribed dose of medicine.

Neil Jones and Maxine Winfield were driven from their home as neighbours suspected they were responsible for the death of four-month-old Abbie.

The house was trashed and all the dead baby's clothes, toys, jewellery and teddy bears were stolen, even the bootees she was wearing when she died.

Weeks later, Mr Jones took an overdose and died.
