msn.comA teenage mother accused of murdering her newborn son has denied ever knowing she was pregnant, a court heard. Paris Mayo is accused of inflicting complex skull fractures on baby Stanley Mayo at her parents’ home in Springfield Avenue, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire on March 23 2019.
It is alleged that after inflicting the fractures, possibly caused by her foot on his head, Mayo then stuffed five pieces of cotton wool into his mouth – two of which were found deep in the throat.
After giving birth in a living room, Mayo is accused of putting Stanley’s body in a bin bag and leaving it on the front doorstep of their home before going upstairs to bed.
Stanley’s remains were discovered the following morning by Mayo’s mother who had looked inside the bloodstained bag. Giving evidence for the first time in her trial, the 19-year-old said she never knew she was pregnant.
