Bio

Ineta Dzinguviene was born in 1986 in Lithuania. Some reports connect her to Marijanpole in Lithuania.

She later moved to Scotland. She lived in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire with her husband, Arunas Dzingus, and their children.

Public records and court reports say she is a Lithuanian national who had at least three children. Neighbours described her as speaking broken English and living in a flat on Fraserburgh High Street.

Murder Story

On April 12, 2010 police found the body of a newborn in a holdall in a stair alcove in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire. Officers went to the block of flats after reports about a baby. The baby was later named Paulius Dzingus. Ineta Dzinguviene was arrested that day.

Forensic pathologist Dr James Grieve gave evidence that the cause of death was asphyxia. Clear plastic food wrapping and clingfilm were identified in the holdall. The pathologist said a baby less than a day old could not fight back.

At the High Court in Livingston Dzinguviene denied murder. Witnesses told the court they had seen her return from hospital with a newborn and that a child had seen her wrapping something with clingfilm. A jury found her guilty of murder.

Judge John Beckett QC sentenced Dzinguviene to life imprisonment on June 8, 2011. The punishment part of the sentence was fixed at a minimum of 15 years before she could be considered for parole.

Lithuanian authorities issued a European arrest warrant over the death of a baby girl in 2009. In September 2012 Dzinguviene was extradited to Lithuania to face allegations in that case after assurances were given about her access to treatment. She was born in 1986.
