A teenage mother has been found guilty of murdering her newborn son by fracturing his skull and stuffing balls of cotton wool down his throat before putting his body in a black bin bag.
She assaulted Stanley, leaving him with a fractured skull, and stuffed five cotton wool balls into his mouth before putting his body in a bin bag, leaving it on the front doorstep and going to bed.Mayo’s mother found the child the next morning when she looked inside the bloodstained bag and immediately called 999, the court was told.
When Mayo and Stanley were taken to Hereford County Hospital, the teenager was asked why she had not told her mother what had happened.The jury previously heard Mayo’s father, Patrick Mayo, had serious health problems, was having home dialysis in an upstairs room assisted by Mayo’s mother on the night of the birth, and had died 10 days after the events unfolded.
Following the verdict, Mayo, of Ruardean in Gloucestershire, was remanded into custody to be sentenced on Monday. “Today, following a six-week trial at Worcester Crown Court a jury found Mayo was in fact responsible for his death; and attempted to conceal her pregnancy from those who could’ve, and would’ve, supported her.
