Tragedy of Lanarkshire schoolgirl left to die alone as cruel mum went to pub to be probed at inquiry

The death of a Lanarkshire 13-year-old girl who suffered alone and in agony while her mum went to the pub is to be probed at an inquiry.

Robyn Goldie was abandoned in the final stages of her life by a mother who claimed the schoolgirl was "attention seeking" when a friend tried to take her to hospital in a taxi.

She died alone at her Wishaw home after begging her mum for help, complaining she was "hurting all over", as she suffered from an infection caused by a perforated stomach ulcer.
