GIST: "POLICE, social services and the health service will need to work more closely together and share information in order to avoid putting another couple through the ordeal faced by Rohan Wray and Chana Al-Alas, who were wrongly accused of murdering their baby and then had to fight to gain custody of their other child. That is the likely finding of a review carried out in the aftermath of the case after Mr Wray, 22, and his partner, Miss Al-Alas, 19, who live in Islington, were finally reunited with their daughter last week.".........The couple spoke this week of their heartache at having their daughter taken from them immediately after she was born because they faced unfounded charges of murder following the death of their eldest child. Not only that, after going through the ordeal of a six-week Old Bailey trial – they were cleared in November last year – the couple then had to refight the case because Islington Council refused to hand their daughter, Jayda, back to them. In a rare move, Mrs Justice Theis, who heard the case at the Family Divisional Court at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, released her judgment last Thursday and named all the parties involved so the couple could “sing their innocence from the rooftops”."
