Burge told Murray Macara, KC, defending, he was on the National Crime Agency list of expert witnesses and had dozens of published works about burns.

The court heard Dahlia-Rose had suffered burns to 18% of the surface area of her body.

Burge, giving evidence remotely after examining material related to the case, said if the baby had been alive at the time she could have survived the injuries.

“It could have been she was already dead,” he told the sixth day of the trial.

“I take the view the heat injury did not cause the death.”

He added he did not know what the cause of death was.

Under cross-examination by advocate depute Alan Cameron KC, prosecuting, he was asked if the heat injury was possibly the cause of death.
