A couple who were falsely accused of murdering their four-month-old son called on Friday for an inquiry into two hospitals that treated him, saying they believe that quicker action by medics might have saved the child's life.

Rohan Wray, 22, and Chana Al-Alas, 19, were accused of killing baby Jayden after he was found to have suffered multiple fractures.

They were absent from their son's side when he died and were also banned from seeing each other during the court case over his death, while their daughter Jayda was taken from her mother immediately after she was born in 2010.

But after he died, doctors discovered he suffered from rickets, which weakens the bones.
