Paris Mayo, now 19 years old, is on trial for the murder of her newborn son, Stanley Mayo, who tragically died in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, on the evening of March 23, 2019. Disturbing details emerged in court as the prosecution presented its case, alleging that the 15-year-old girl assaulted her baby and stuffed his throat with cotton wool to prevent the discovery of her pregnancy.

In his opening statement to the jury, prosecutor Jonas Hankin KC revealed that Mayo gave birth to her son alone in the living room of her family home while her parents were upstairs. The court heard that immediately after the birth, the teenager assaulted the newborn, causing fractures to his skull and inflicting severe brain injuries.
