Gloucestershire teen accused of illegal abortion told police she had stillbirth

Court told that Sophie Harvey and boyfriend, then 19, bought pills to end 28-week pregnancy in 2018

A teenager accused of taking a pill to illegally abort a baby told police she had reconciled herself to the idea of having the child but suffered a stillbirth, a jury has heard.

Sophie Harvey, who was 19 at the time, said she panicked and wrapped the dead baby in a towel, put it in a plastic bag and placed it in a bin at the family home in Gloucestershire.
