A COUPLE who neglected their baby son in the run-up to his death are facing jail.
Stephen Angell, 44, and Laura Stevenson, 46, subjected Stephen Angell jnr to harrowing mistreatment before he died at just three months old.
An investigation revealed the pair had caused unnecessary suffering and exposed him to the risk of ingesting drugs.
A milk bottle found in the couple's home was tested and a trace of diazepam found.
Medics ruled his death as undetermined but social work records showed concerns had been raised about his care.
A jury at Hamilton Sheriff Court found Angell and Stevenson, of East Kilbride, guilty of wilful neglect between August and November 2018.
The court heard a drunk Stevenson had left her son with a disabled and morbidly obese woman and had gone to bed.
