A jury was shown bloodstained clothing found in a laundry basket at tragic baby Abbie Jamieson’s home.

Forensic scientist Carol Weston, 35, told the High Court in Glasgow how she found a bloodstained bib, babygrow and sleeping bag during a search of the house in Dumbarton Road, Glasgow.

Mrs Weston said she was called in by police to carry out a forensic examination and told four-month-old Abbie had died of severe abdominal and head injuries.

Mrs Weston was giving evidence yesterday at the trial of Craig Jamieson, who denies murdering his daughter Abbie at the family home on February 8, 2008.

Jamieson, 30, of Summerhill Place, Drumchapel, has lodged a special defence of incrimination against Abbie’s mother Nichola Haddock, 29.

Mrs Weston told prosecutor Lesley Shand QC the blood was red and fresh and bloodstaining on the bib was still wet.

She said: “Even though I was wearing gloves I could tell it was sticky.”

The jury was told the bloodstaining was analysed and found to be a mixture of mucus, blood and vomit.

The blood matched the DNA profile of Abbie. The court was told it was a billion-to-one chance of the blood belonging to someone else.

Mrs Weston said her conclusion was that Abbie’s blood had been deposited on the bib, babygrow and sleeping bag mixed with mucus and vomit.

She added: “She has vomited blood, or blood has been expelled from her mouth or nose.”

When cross-examined by defence QC Ronnie Watson, Mrs Weston said she had examined the flat for fresh blood, but found nothing.

A pathologist who examined Abbie’s brain said she had injures normally found on people who died in road crashes.

Dr Colin Smith, 42, one of Britain’s top brain experts, analysed sections of her brain, and said the same trauma he found there was also found in people who died after falling from a considerable height on to concrete.

He said he had also seen similar injury in the brains of two cases where infants had been swung by the ankles and hit against a solid surface.

The trial continues.
