A court, on Thursday, heard how a single mother crushed her nine-week-old baby to death while she was trying to silence the child's cries. In the process of doing so, the mother ended up fracturing six of the newborn's ribs.
The 33-year-old mother, Abigail Palmer hailing from Solihull in the West Midlands, was accused of crushing the chest of her baby Teri-Rae. Jurors at the Birmingham Crown Court were informed how the baby passed away on January 2 in 2017.
The court also heard how Abigail had tested positive for cocaine while she was pregnant and was also facing the possibility that Teri-Rae may be taken into care, stated a Daily Mail report.
