A mother has been found guilty of killing her baby daughter due to heat from a hairdryer.

Courtney Gartshore, 28, denied culpable homicide of three-month-old Dahlia-Rose in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, in September 2023.

The jury took just over an hour to return a guilty verdict on the seventh day of the trial.

Gartshore, who sobbed as she was led from the dock at the High Court in Aberdeen, will be sentenced next month.

She was unanimously found guilty of culpably and recklessly causing Dahlia-Rose to be subjected to heat from the appliance while the child was in her sole care.

The charge stated that Dahlia-Rose's injuries were so severe that she died as a result.

The trial heard Gartshore had consumed alcohol beforehand.
