Dad denies killing teen found dead in room 'unfit for an animal'

A 16-year-old girl who died after becoming morbidly obese in lockdown and who lived in conditions "unfit for any animal" was seriously neglected by her parents, a court has been told.

Kaylea Titford weighed 22 stone and 13 lbs, with a body mass index of 70, when she died in October 2020 at her home in Newtown in North Wales, where she was found lying in soiled clothing and bed linen, Mold Crown Court was told on Wednesday.

Her mother Sarah Lloyd-Jones, 39, admits manslaughter by gross negligence but her father Alun Titford, 45, denies the offence.
