Life sentence for woman who killed her newborn baby

A WOMAN who smothered her newborn baby with clingfilm was jailed for life today.

Ineta Dzinguviene, 26, killed her son Paulius Dzingus hours after he was born on April 12 last year.

She held a piece of clingfilm over his face and suffocated him.

The baby's body was found in a holdall in a communal hallway in a block of flats in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.

Passing sentence at the High Court in Glasgow, judge John Beckett QC told Dzinguviene she would serve at least 15 years for the "wicked" murder of a "defenceless and extremely vulnerable" child.

Dzinguviene is wanted for questioning in her native Lithuania in connection with the death of her daughter in 2009.

Lithuanian prosecutors ordered an investigation after she was convicted of killing her son.
