Mother Poisoned Her Baby By Putting Tramadol Into Her Breast Milk

A mother faces jail after she admitting poisoning her baby daughter by putting a strong painkiller into her breast milk.
Rose Jones, 30, confessed to administering a poison with intent to injure her one-year-old girl - but denied doing the same to her other daughter.

Jones, of Keyham, Plymouth, Devon, put the Class C drug Tramadol into her expressed breast milk and gave it to her daughter between November 2014 and June 2015.

She pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice along with the charge of cruelty and possessing drugs.
Jones had also previously pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud, including one matter where she took someone else's card and withdrew cash at an ATM.

Judge Ian Lawrie QC said the matter was 'a complex case' with a 'complex defendant'.

He remanded Jones into custody, warning her she was 'facing a significant period of custody'.

Jones will be sentenced at a hearing on May 19.
