Jurors in the trial of a mother accused of murdering her two-year-old son with her civil partner have retired to consider their verdict.

Rachel Fee or Trelfa, 31, formerly of Macclesfield, and 29-year-old Nyomi Fee have been on trial at the High Court in Livingston for the past seven weeks, where they deny murdering toddler Liam Fee.
