Mum who blamed another child for her baby's death found guilty of murder

Nicole Blain, a 30-year-old mother from Greenock, has been found guilty of murdering her 19-day-old daughter Thea Wilson, who died in July 2023 from catastrophic injuries including broken ribs, three skull fractures, and signs of shaking. Blain initially blamed another child for the baby's death but was convicted by a jury at the High Court in Glasgow; she will receive a life sentence next month, with parole eligibility to be determined after additional information is reviewed.
