One of Scotland’s worst child killers, who moaned on TikTok after bludgeoning <\/a>her child to death, was found guilty of murdering the newborn baby this week.<\/p>\n

Nicole Blain<\/a>, 30, will forever be known as a monster who cut her daughter’s life short in a fit of rage at her flat in Greenock, Inverclyde on July 14, 2023.<\/p>\n

The brute, who caused baby girl Thea a catalogue of horrific injuries, was found guilty <\/a>of the deplorable crime by a jury at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, April 29.<\/p>\n

The horrific case has evoked many harrowing memories for Scots of the deaths of many other helpless children <\/a>across the country in years gone by.<\/p>\n

The Record has assembled a list of some of the most tragic cases gone by so their names and memory <\/a>will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n

Baby killer Nicole Blain<\/p>\n

Blain caused her 19-day-old baby girl Thea a string of catastrophic injuries,<\/a> including three skull fractures, brain damage and bleeding behind the eyes. These were consistent with the baby being violently shaken and repeatedly hit off a hard floor, wall or furniture.<\/p>\n

In a sick cover-up bid, Blain said she had woken up from a nap to find her daughter stricken on the floor – and went on to claim another child also in the flat had “done” whatever happened to Thea<\/a>. The lies were branded “nonsense” by prosecutors earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Blain killed her daughter in July 2023, she went on to post a series of sickening videos<\/a> on her TikTok. Blain spoke about her loss, at one point describing it as \u201can unexpected tragedy\u201d while struggling to compose herself on camera, as she tried to convince others of her innocence.<\/p>\n

She said<\/a>: \u201cThis is an unexpected tragedy that\u2019s happened\u2026 I can\u2019t even talk, I need to pause. I\u2019ve tried to record this many times and I just don\u2019t know what to say. Nothing in the world is going to bring my baby back.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video filmed <\/a>from hospital, she told followers she was \u201cin the right place getting the support\u201d she needed.<\/p>\n

The attention seeking mum also shared footage <\/a>of her newborn daughter, Thea, including a clip of her feeding the baby. Alongside the post, she wrote: \u201cFound this in my drafts,\u201d followed by three broken-heart emojis, with the song \u201cArea Codes\u201d playing in the background.<\/p>\n

In another emotional post, she said: \u201cNobody deserves the f***ing s*** I\u2019ve been through. Losing my wee lassie <\/a>is the worst thing I\u2019ve ever went through in my life. I really don\u2019t see the light at the end of this tunnel for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blain will be sentenced next month.<\/p>\n
