Mother who killed baby daughter with heat from hairdryer to appeal against conviction and sentence
Court officials said the appeal process has begun after Gartshore was jailed for six years for culpable homicide in her baby daughter’s death.
- On Monday, August 31, 2026, Courtney Gartshore lodged an appeal against her conviction and six-year sentence for the culpable homicide of her three-month-old daughter, Dahlia-Rose Gartshore.
- Emergency services arrived at King Street in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, on September 30, 2023, where Gartshore had used a hairdryer to subject the infant to "significant and sustained heat."
- Sentencing Gartshore earlier this month, Judge Simon Collins KC called the case "uniquely disturbing," while defence lawyer Murray Macara described it a "truly tragic and distressing case."
- The High Court in Edinburgh sentenced Gartshore to six years on August 14, finding her culpable in the "highest degree" of carelessness; hyperthermia was the likely cause of death.
- Following the conviction, Detective Inspector James Callander described the case as "incredibly disturbing," with an investigation having launched in November 2023 after the infant's death.
