Courtney Gartshore, 28, is due to be sentenced after being convicted over the death of her three-month-old daughter, who died in September 2023 at an address in Peterhead.
Reporting across outlets says the case involves the use of heat from a hairdryer. The Belfast Telegraph and Evening Standard both refer to the circumstances of the incident and Gartshore’s condition on the day of the death. The Evening Standard reports that she had been drinking on that day. The Belfast Telegraph similarly frames the matter as a sentencing stage following the killing of the baby.
While the outlets agree on the core facts of who is being sentenced, the victim’s age, the location and timing of the incident, and the hairdryer-related cause, they provide limited additional detail beyond those shared elements. The focus of coverage is the upcoming sentencing hearing and the broader context described in reporting so far.
