Baby grave vandal devastated couple by wrecking site six times
A MAN who vandalised a baby’s grave on six occasions has been told to return to court in January as magistrates consider whether he should be jailed.
Mark Plaister pleaded guilty to six counts of criminal damage after destroying the grave of Maggie Bernasconi-Parsons, who was still-born in 2015, between May and June.
The victim, Sarah Bernasconi-Parsons, has raised money to try to help parents who suffer the pain of a stillbirth or infant death.
Burnley Magistrates Court was told that Plaister, 35, of Malvern Avenue, Padiham, first targeted Maggie’s grave on May 21.
