Cannot get this case and little Minnie Merriman out of my head.

Minnie was allegedly murdered by her dad while camping at an industrial park in Arbroath with her mum and two brothers.

The family is from Yorkshire and there is a pattern of lavish and completely unsuitable holidays and roof top wining and dining showcased on social media by Minnie’s dad with the mum nowhere to be seen other than the odd hand or side view, lots of alcohol and boasting how much things have cost with little to none interaction from any friends and family.

How they came to end up camping on the edge of an industrial site in a 2 man pop up tent which was described by witnesses as flimsy with the tragic end to a beautiful young girls life and the rest of the family taken to hospital remains to be seen.

But working in DA I feel like I can guess exactly what happened.

RIP Minnie, I’m so sorry this happened to you and to your little brothers and mum I hope they can heal and recover from the trauma and grief they have experienced.

Very sad. Poor girl. It sounds very strange. Where did you find out about the history of lavish lifestyle?

So very sad for the little girl and her family.

The last bit of that news story is very odd. Why did they lose their home and belongings? Unless camping is their normal home and belongings, which isn’t mentioned anywhere else.

Hi social media is very open and has been shown on various platforms.

Very strange live videos, where he lists everything expensive he is eating and drinking LOTS of alcohol and the kids always there looking absolutely miserable.

It is just awful, poor little girl. I did see a news article earlier that a family friend has started a go fund me saying that the family have lost all their belongings and their home now, which I didn’t really understand. I don’t want to speculate but I imagine an awful lot more will come out during the course of any legal proceedings.

His Facebook is extremely random. Just scrolling back to May and they’ve been to Tarragona in Spain, Barcelona, Marrakesh, Blackpool, Leeds all in the space of less than two months.
