A CORONER has today found Echuca toddler Angela Bannister died of injuries inflicted by her mother and her mother's boyfriend.

Richard Wright recommended the case be investigated by the department of public prosecutions after he handed down his findings at the Coroners Court, which sat in Echuca, this afternoon.

But Mr Wright said today there was no evidence such an attack had ever occurred and it had no bearing on Angela's death.

More to come.
