MUM JAILED AFTER DRUG BABY DEATH

Three-month-old’s home polluted’ with illegal pills

- DAVE FINLAY

A DRUG dealer mother whose baby son died after ingesting a narcotic at her home was jailed for seven years yesterday.

Amy Beck was convicted of exposing her three-month old son Olly-James Sievewright to mephedrone, known as M-CAT, and MDMA, which is commonly called ecstasy.

The baby boy died on December 22, 2019, as a result of ingesting M-CAT combined with the effects of a peritonitis infection he was suffering at the time.

At the High Court in Edinburgh, a judge told Beck: "A custodial sentence is the only appropriate disposal in your case."
