A woman who was jailed for murdering her newborn baby with a pair of scissors has begun an appeal against her conviction.

Rachel Tunstill, 26, killed Mia Kelly soon after giving birth to her in the bathroom of her flat in Burnley.

Tunstill denied murder but was convicted by a jury at Preston Crown Court in June 2017 and jailed for life.

Her lawyers told the Court of Appeal, the jury should have had the option of convicting her of infanticide.

Before the killing care worker Tunstill, who has a degree in psychology and a masters in forensic psychology, asked her partner of nine years to hand her the scissors.

At the time he had no idea she had just given birth, the court heard, and handed her the scissors through the bathroom door.

Why Infanticide Is A Problem In Senegal?

Woman accused of infanticide were interviewed in the prisons of Thies, Senegal. Infanticide is the 2nd most common reason women in Senegal are in prison. In Senegal, infanticide is a response to taboo pregnancies, carried out by isolated women. Experts believe the strict laws surrounding abortion are a contributing factor. Three of the women interviewed commented on their experiences, of which one baby was thrown into a septic tank after birth and survived, one baby was still born and buried in the garden, due to the mother being a single parent shortly after the father died, and being the sole breadwinner. One woman lied that her baby was still born, after an affair and claimed the man put a spell on her to seduce her, shortly after the body of the child was found in a septic tank.

Roughly half of filicidal acts are committed by fathers, though the majority of the literature focuses on maternal filicide. This paper reviews the existing literature on paternal filicide with the goal of identifying characteristics common among these fathers. Fathers who killed their children were, on average, in their mid thirties. The mean age of their victims was five. They may have multiple victims. Sons and daughters were killed in equal numbers. Reasons included death related to abuse, mental illness (including psychosis and depression), and revenge against a spouse. The method often involved wounding violence. Suicide following the act occurred frequently. After being tried for their crimes, filicidal fathers were more frequently incarcerated than hospitalized. Given the range of those capable of this act, mental health professionals must be alert to the possibility of filicide in a variety of fathers. Considering this risk, clinicians should inquire about thoughts of harming children, partners, and themselves.

March 28, 2014
A mother who killed one of her twin baby girls and left the other severely disabled will not spend any time in jail. The woman, 39, pleaded guilty to infanticide over the death of her eight-week-old daughter and recklessly causing serious injury to the baby’s sister. She can’t be named, despite the father of the babies urging the court to lift a suppression order on her identity.

The father said he wanted the order lifted so he could talk openly about his lost daughter, who had “just disappeared”.
He also wants to raise much-needed funds for the surviving twin, he told the court in a statement.
The twins’ father, who was not present at two previous court hearings because he was at hospital appointments with his daughter, cried as the mother was sentenced to a community corrections order for one year.

Veronique Courjault, 42, was found guilty in 2009 of killing three of her newborns - two of whom she hid in a freezer, and were later discovered by her husband.
During her trial, Courjault said that she and her husband had agreed not to have any more children and that in her subsequent pregnancies she had felt no connection to the foetus growing inside her.

"I could not feel them move inside me," she told psychiatrists. "As far as I was concerned they were never children. It was a part of myself, an extension of myself that I was killing." One theory to explain why mothers kill their newborn babies is pregnancy denial.
