The FAI follows the prosecution and conviction of Robyn’s mother, Sharon Goldie, in August 2020 for wilful ill treatment and neglect of her daughter in the year leading up to her death in July 2018. Robyn’s mother failed to seek medical treatment for her when she became ill.

A preliminary hearing will be held on 3 July 2023 at Hamilton Sheriff Court.

Procurator fiscal Katrina Parkes, who is head of COPFS’s Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit, said: “The Lord Advocate considers that the death of Robyn Goldie occurred in circumstances giving rise to significant public concern and as such a discretionary fatal accident inquiry should be held.

“An FAI will allow a full public airing of all the available evidence at which interested parties will be represented. The evidence will be tested in a public setting and be the subject of an independent judicial determination.”
