Murder accused told police she "didn't know what happened" after her mother was found dead in Troon
Shayla and Lynette Greenop deny killing 46-year-old Sharon Greenop
A daughter charged with murdering her mother in Troon told police she didn’t know what happened to her.
Shayla Greenop was described as being "in tears" as she was quizzed by police.
The 20-year-old was interviewed by detectives after Sharon Greenop was found dead at their home in Troon, Ayrshire in November 2016.
Jurors have heard the body could have lay there for weeks.
But, Shayla told officers: "I don't know...I don't know what happened."
She and Sharon's sister Lynnette Greenop, 40, are accused of murdering the mum.
It is claimed she was assaulted on various occasions between September 8 and November 10 2016.
The High Court in Glasgow heard Shayla was interviewed by police in December 2016.
Prosecutor Ashley Edwards QC asked Detective Sergeant Kevin Clark - one of the officers who spoke with Shayla - how her demeanour was at one stage.
DS Clark replied: "She had her head bowed...crouched over.
"She was in tears at various points.
"She was quiet, not looking at me in the eye and sitting side on at her lawyer."
But, the officer said that "changed" with Shayla "sitting upright, speaking more clearly and loudly".
The jury heard how it was put to Shayla during the interview that her mum had been "brutally murdered" and that the police are "not making this up".
The murder charge alleges Sharon was repeatedly struck with “object or objects” and had her neck compressed.
It is said injuries were also inflicted “by means unknown” and that there was a failure to obtain medical help.
Sharon is stated to have been so severely hurt that she died.
The two accused – who both live in Ayr, South Ayrshire – deny all charges.
The trial, before Lady Carmichael, continues.
