A woman who smothered her newborn son at her north-east flat and later confessed to killing her baby daughter in Lithuania has been sent back to Scotland to serve her prison sentence.
Ineta Dzinguviene was jailed for life after she was found guilty of murdering her infant boy Paulius in Fraserburgh four years ago.
She was extradited to her native country last year as part of an investigation into the death of her newborn daughter in April 2009, shortly before she moved to Scotland with her husband.
Following a prolonged private hearing at a Lithuanian court, Dzinguviene admitted killing the girl. She was jailed for 15 years.
Yesterday, it emerged the 29-year-old has returned to Scotland to complete her two jail terms.
The move has been criticised by Tory justice spokeswoman Margaret Mitchell.
She said: “The sentence should have been completed in Lithuania. It’s unfair on the Scottish taxpayers.”
Dzinguviene was seven months pregnant when she arrived at Fraserburgh in February 2010.
She hid her pregnancy from friends in her new home town and refused to attend antenatal classes.
Dzinguviene, the wife of a migrant Lithuanian who drove a van for a fish firm, went into labour on April 12.
Paulius Dzingus was born at Fraserburgh Hospital’s birthing unit weighing 6lb 9oz.
The following day, his remains were found inside a holdall, dumped in a communal hallway outside his mother’s flat.
Baby Paulina’s body was found in a suitcase at Dzinguviene’s old family home in the city of Vikaviskis while she was on trial in Livingston for Paulius’s murder.
On April 6, 2009 – three days after her daughter was born – Dzinguviene covered the little girl’s head and face with a polythene bag, causing her to suffocate.
Like Paulius, the little girl’s body was hidden inside a suitcase and left at the property.
