Mother charged with murder and neglect of girl, 2

A mother has appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with neglecting and murdering her twoyear-old girl.

It is alleged that Margaret Wade, 36, and partner Marie Sweeney, 35, killed Lauren Wade between July 2014 and March 2015.

Prosecutors say the pair “wilfully ill-treated and neglected” and “assaulted” Lauren, as well as causing her to take drugs.

It is claimed they had kept her in a filthy house in Glasgow’s Sighthill area with insects and dirty nappies.

They were granted bail and are to appear at the High Court at a later date.
