A mother whose baby daughter was allegedly murdered by the child's father has told a court that her partner "did not really" interact with their child.

Nichola Haddock was giving evidence at the trial of Craig Jamieson, accused of killing four-month-old Abbie on February 8, 2008.

The child's mother told the High Court in Glasgow that her daughter's birth was "the happiest day of my life" and said Jamieson showed the same excitement.

She told the jury she was "delighted" to be a new mother, but when asked about how Jamieson felt about the baby's arrival, she said: "Ok, I suppose".

Asked how he interacted with his new child, she appeared to start sobbing and replied: "He didn't really".

Jamieson, of Knightswood, Glasow, is charged with killing his daughter by inflicting blunt force trauma to her head and body leaving the girl so severely injured she died at the city's Yorkhill Hospital on February 8, 2008.

He also faces two allegations of assaulting Abbie, on December 7, 2007 and again between February 1 and 7, 2008.

Miss Haddock told the court she met Jamieson at a Glasgow bar in 2004 after moving to the city from Belfast to start a university degree in social work.

The couple later lived together at a flat in Dumbarton Road in the Scotstoun area.

He denies all of the charges against him. The trial, before Lord Matthews, continues.
