A woman inflicted ‘terrible injuries’ on her baby daughter and squeezed her to death, a jury has been told
Timothy Cray KC, prosecuting, said Langley called 999 just before 4am on Friday November 20 2020 and said her daughter was not breathing. “The furthest she went in terms of her own responsibility was to put blame on herself for drinking on Thursday night and into the Friday morning. Mr Cray said the experts also concluded that the remaining three fractures – cracked ribs – were older and caused two to four days before death.The prosecutor added: “We say that the defendant carried out a serious assault on Edith in the days before and, later, she carried out a second and fatal attack of the same kind.No concerns for Edith’s welfare had been raised by professionals, while Langley’s friends and neighbours were under the impression she was a good mother, the court was told.
