Mum jailed for murdering baby after secret birth when she was 15

A teenager has been jailed for murdering her baby just moments after she secretly gave birth at her parents' home at the age of 15.

Paris Mayo, now 19, was jailed for 12 years following a jury deliberation of more than eight hours on Monday (June 26). She was found guilty on Friday of inflicting complex skull fractures shortly after giving birth in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, in March 2019.

The jury heard a string of disturbing allegations in regards to Mayo, including stuffing the infant's mouth with cotton wool, pieces of which were found in his mouth. She crid in the dock after jurors at Worcester Crown Court found her guilty of Stanley's murder, the Mirror reports.
