- Nicole Blain has been given a life sentence for the "violent and brutal" murder of her 19-day-old daughter, Thea Wilson.
- She was jailed for at least 19 years at the High Court in Glasgow following the infant's death on 14 July 2023 in Greenock, Inverclyde.
- Lord Scott, who imposed the sentence, dismissed Blain's "absurd" claims that another child was responsible for Thea's death.
- Blain was found guilty last month, having been charged with murder by repeatedly shaking her daughter and inflicting blunt force trauma.
- Police received a report of a baby having taken unwell at a property in Greenock. Thea later died at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.
