Ineta Dzinguviene denies murdering her son in Fraserburgh The jury in the case of a mother accused of murdering her newborn baby in Fraserburgh has retired to reach a verdict.
Ineta Dzinguviene, 26, denies murdering her son with clear plastic food wrapping on the day he was born.
The baby, later named Paulius Dzingus, was found in the Aberdeenshire fishing port’s High Street in April last year.
The jury retired after being charged by the judge at the High Court in Livingston on Thursday morning.
Advocate depute Dorothy Bain QC, in her closing prosecution speech on Wednesday, urged the jury to convict.
She said the accused was “in control of her actions”.
However, defence advocate Frances McMenamin QC claimed evidence was lacking that plastic food wrapping found in a bag containing the corpse had actually been used to smother the baby.
The trial began on 26 April.
