Trial Hears First Testimony Of Millie Martin Accused
The man accused of murdering Millie Martin told police he tried his best to resuscitate the toddler after finding her "completely lifeless" in her cot.
The toddler died on 11 December 2009, a day after she was admitted to the Erne Hospital in Enniskillen with serious injuries.
Dungannon Crown Court has been hearing on Wednesday part of McCarney's interview with police.
He said when he lifted Millie she was lying limp, her face was white and her lips were blue.
He gave her a shake but "there was no response at all."
Mr McCarney said it was the first time he had tried CPR and he breathed into her mouth and pumped her chest.
"I'm just trying to do my best to help her. I did not know what to do."
"It was better to try something than try nothing," he told police.
McCarney was told by police after he was arrested that Millie had died from a head injury and was asked if he could explain how she got it.
"I do not know how she got that head injury. I know absolutely nothing about... I am completely disgusted and in shock that Millie has suffered something like this," he told police.
Mr McCarney denies murder and sexual assault. Millie's mother, Rachael Martin, denies allowing her death.
The trial continues.
