Laura Langley denies murdering her baby girl, Edith Langley, at their home in Marton, Blackpool
Efforts to revive a baby girl did not cause her “multiplicity” of rib fractures, a murder trial jury has been told. Prosecutors say Laura Langley, 37, inflicted “terrible injuries” as she squeezed her seven-week-old daughter Edith to death at their home in Blackpool, in November 2020.
The defendant called 999 at 3.54am on November 20 and began CPR after she told the operator that Edith was not breathing. Four minutes later, the court heard, paramedics arrived at Belgrave Road, Marton, and took over chest compressions as the youngster was in cardiac arrest.The attempts to resuscitate Edith continued in vain as she arrived at Blackpool Victoria Hospital at 4.15am but she was pronounced dead at 4.43am.
Timothy Cray KC, prosecuting, asked: “What do you say to the suggestion that Edith’s recent 30 broken ribs were caused by the 45 minutes or so of CPR that was administered to her?”
