A British woman in her 30s has been in court on charges of exposing drugs to her 10-week-old daughter and killing her. According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, a 10-week-old baby living in Port Glasgow, England, has been found dead.

As a result of the autopsy, several kinds of drug components were detected in the child's body.

According to police, Sharyn Means, 36, a mother of the child, woke up at 4 a.m. while on drugs the night before to feed her daughter. At this time, it was determined that the drug substance entered the child's body.




Traces of drugs were found in four baby bottles in the house, and several bottles and equipment used by the child's mother also tested positive for drugs.

Police estimated that some of the drugs she used remained in the bottle, which had been incorporated into the bottle.

In court, the lawyer argued that there was no evidence that drugs were intentionally put into the bottle and that the murder charge should not be applied. However, the jury rejected the lawyer's claim and ruled him guilty.




The trial is scheduled to continue next month.
