Revealed: Text sent by 'spiteful' mother before 'faking a DNA test'

An angry text message sent by a 'spiteful' mother accused of falsifying a DNA test to help remove her baby's father from the birth certificate has been revealed.

Georgina Saville, 25, is alleged to have misled 26-year-old Kyle Fitton to deter him from launching legal action - which she referred to as putting her 'foot down'.

She not only faked a DNA test and lied about her second baby's paternity on her birth certificate but had also threatened to do the same for their first baby, Southampton Crown Court has been told.

Jurors heard she informed Mr Fitton he would not see her nor his children 'ever again' and lied to him about whether he was the biological father of their newborn daughter.

And now details of text messages she sent to Mr Fitton's mother Jayne Fitton have emerged at her trial. She is accused of perverting the course of public justice and wilfully making a false declaration as to a birth.

Giving evidence today, Ms Fitton said of her son and his daughter: 'He was her father and she should be included.'

Saville is said to have sent Ms Fitton a message saying: 'Tell him he ain't seeing her ever again and he can take me to court.

'That's the final straw, I have been nice enough to the dead-beat cheat. Once I've blocked you all you won't be able to contact me without a solicitor.

'I have told you the terms, I'm not having it any more. I suggest you tell him to respond and reply, otherwise that's it.'

Saville said he had 'f***ed my life up' and she was now putting her 'foot down'.

'Tell him to move on and forget about me and [the eldest daughter] because he will never be seeing us again,' she added in the message to Ms Fitton.

Saville originally left the birth certificate for her second baby blank and later tried to add in her new boyfriend as the father, despite previously saying her two children are 'full blood sisters', the court has heard.

When asked by Mr Fitton's lawyers to take a DNA test, she sent them fake results,  jurors were told.

The court heard Saville made Mr Fitton and his mother follow strict 'rules' and threatened that once she had blocked them, they wouldn't be able to contact her 'without a solicitor'. 

Giving evidence today, Jayne Fitton said her son Mr Fitton was '100 per cent' the baby's father.

And on her relationship with Saville, she said: 'I treated her like a daughter. I respected that she was the mother to my two grandchildren and I was there to support her.'

She told the court she believed the newborn was her son's 'without a doubt', as there had not been any suggestion 'at all' that she was somebody else's.

The court heard Saville, from Bursledon, near Southampton, 'continuously' messaged Ms Fitton about difficulties they were having in their relationship in the lead up to and during her pregnancy.

Upon learning she was pregnant, she texted Ms Fitton saying: 'I wish I could keep her, I really do.

'He has completely destroyed me. I can't have this baby tying me to him any more.

'I'm done with hearing that boy's name - all he does is cause me stress and I'm done with it. If social services come again, I'm sticking to saying he's not the dad.'

The court heard Saville texted Ms Fitton during her pregnancy about her plan to not put Mr Fitton on the birth certificate of the baby who was due to be born. 

Messaging Ms Fitton, she said: 'I also really don't want him to meet [the baby] when she's here so I'm going to safeguard us by keeping him out of this.' 

It was in a later message that she called Ms Fitton's son a 'dead-beat cheat' and said: 'Tell him he ain't seeing her ever again and he can take me to court.'

She threatened to stop shared custody of their eldest daughter and said she didn't want him having 'absolutely anything to do' with their newborn.

Messaging Ms Fitton, Saville said she wanted Mr Fitton 'completely gone' and said: 'You are free to visit her around mine whenever - it's just him who won't be seeing her.'

In court, Ms Fitton said she was obeying the terms Saville set for fear of not being able to see the children.

She added: 'You had to follow Georgina's rules, otherwise I would have been cut off from my granddaughters.'

Once the baby was born, Saville told Ms Fitton: 'You are their nanny, but he is not their dad.'

She texted her later saying: 'Just make sure he is aware that if [the newborn] doesn't have a dad, neither does [the older daughter]. And when he moves out of yours, he won't see her ever again.'

Ms Fitton told jurors: 'He was devastated but he was blocked. He was desperate to see [the baby].

'He was following Georgina's rule of not contacting but he was trying to contact, so whichever way he went he was wrong.'

Ms Fitton told the court she was introduced to Saville's new boyfriend Danny Mellows by early February 2022 - at which point there was 'never' any suggestion he was the father.

She added: 'She wanted [Mr Fitton] removed from [the eldest daughter]'s birth certificate.'

The court heard Ms Fitton and Saville's relationship broke down, after the girls' mother learned Mr Fitton's mother was helping him in his legal case to see his two daughters.

Ms Fitton said: 'She phoned me up and she was really aggressive and threatening. She told me I would never see either of my grandchildren again.'

Jurors were previously told Saville and Mr Fitton had an at times 'toxic' relationship lasting four years, with Mr Fitton moving out for good after 25-year-old Saville fell pregnant with their second daughter. 

But prosecutor Nick Tucker said that when Mr Fitton's legal team requested a DNA test from Saville to confirm paternity, she sent them bogus results trying to prove the newborn baby was instead the daughter of Mr Mellows.

Mr Tucker said: 'She sought to mislead him and his solicitor and, if taken at face value, that test result might have deterred him from pursuing the proceedings any further.

'We say this was a spiteful and calculated attempt to derail his case by dishonest means.'

Saville denies perverting the course of public justice and a charge of wilfully making a false declaration as to a birth. The trial continues.
