The infant suffered burns to approximately 18% of her body surface, particularly to her head, neck, upper body and one arm. Gartshore had been drinking while in sole charge of the baby. She was arrested and charged in November 2023 and denied culpable homicide, the Scottish equivalent of manslaughter. Judge Simon Collins KC described the case as 'uniquely disturbing' and stated that the likely cause of death was hypothermia and heat stroke. Gartshore, who maintains she has no recollection of the incident, appeared via videolink and was visibly emotional during sentencing.
