During a search of the surgeon's home, police uncovered stacks of diaries and hard disks in which Le Scouarnec appeared to list hundreds more victims.

Police were able to identify them thanks to meticulously-compiled diaries in which Le Scouarnec is alleged to have logged assaults he carried out on his young patients over more than 25 years.

Danielle had struggled in childhood with dyslexia, Ms Brannigan said, but had loved writing in her diaries and grew up to be "a brilliant friend and an amazing sister".
