'Spiteful' mum's 13-word text before 'faking DNA test to stop dad from seeing kids'

Georgina Saville, 25, allegedly sent a text message saying she would 'stick' to telling the social services that 'he's not the dad' and that Kyle Fitton, 26, 'can take me to court'

A mum accused of falsifying a DNA test and lying on her newborn baby's birth certificate in a row with the father also threatened to remove him from the document of their first child, a court heard.

'Spiteful' Georgina Saville claimed ex-boyfriend Kyle Fitton wouldn't see her or his kids 'ever again' and that he should take her to court, prosecutors allege. In a highly unusual case, jurors were told the 25 year old had split up with Mr Fitton, 26, when she lied about him not being the dad of her new baby girl in a bid to 'de-rail' his legal bid to see them.

It was heard she made Mr Fitton and his mum 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 at Southampton Crown Court, Jayne Fitton said her son, Mr Fitton, was '100%' the baby's father.

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 believed the baby born 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 Bursldeon, 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 about her son, 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 anymore.

"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."

Giving evidence, Ms Fitton said: "He was her father and he should be included." However, in a later message, Saville said to Ms Fitton: "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 anymore. I suggest you tell him to respond and reply, otherwise that's it."

She said he had 'f****d 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," Saville messaged.

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. "You had to follow Georgina's rules," she said. "Otherwise I would have been cut off from my grand daughters."

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 mum was helping him in his legal case to see his two daughters. She said: "She phoned me up and she was really aggressive and threatening. She told me I would never see either of my grandchildren again."

The court previously heard when asked by Mr Fitton's solicitors to take a DNA test, Saville sent them bogus results trying to prove the newborn baby was actually the daughter of her new boyfriend. Having originally left the father section of the birth certificate blank, she went to the Registry Office and added Mr Mellows as the official dad - despite previously admitting her two girls were 'full blood sisters'.

Prosecutor Nick 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."

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