Local election 2013: 'Put disabled down' councillor re-elected in Cornwall

A Cornwall county councillor who quit after saying disabled children should be "put down" has been re-elected to the unitary authority. 

 
Collin Brewer, 68, won the Wadebridge East ward as an independent candidate with 335 votes, a majority of four after resigning in February. He said he stood again because he was asked to by people in the ward.

Disability Cornwall said it was "shocked beyond words" and that it was a "sad day for Cornwall".
