Father found guilty of baby's 'vicious' murder

A FATHER was today found guilty of murdering his four-month-old daughter.

Craig Jamieson inflicted fatal injuries to daughter Abbie during a "vicious" attack on the baby at the Glasgow home he shared with the child's mother.

A jury at the High Court in Glasgow took four hours to convict Jamieson, 30, of the killing. They had heard that Abbie died in Yorkhill hospital after suffering serious injuries to her head and abdomen.

Jamieson told the court that the baby's mother, Nichola Haddock, was responsible for the injuries.

But he was found guilty on a charge of inflicting blunt force trauma to the baby's head and body "by means to the prosecutor unknown".

Lesley Shand QC, who led the 19-day trial against unemployed Jamieson, described the assault as a "vicious" attack on a defenceless baby.

Jamieson's relatives sobbed as the guilty verdict was read out.

As he was led out of court one, he said: "This is all wrong".

Temporary judge Alastair Stewart QC will sentence Jamieson tomorrow.
