The evil killer who murdered his partner's two-year-old daughter had met the family on Facebook only months before he brutally subjected the toddler to an almost unimaginable level of violence. Kyle Bevan left 'beautiful, bright and busy' Lola James with catastrophic brain injuries and beat her until she was covered in over 100 bruises, puncture wounds and abrasions.
Little Lola, who has been described as a bundle of energy, was just a few months shy of her third birthday when she was killed by the monster, who had recently become her mother's new partner. The awful details of what happened in the early hours of July 17 2020 may never be known, as Bevan lied that the toddler had fallen down the stairs by accident while her mother, Sinead James, was sleeping upstairs and knew nothing of the incident.
Bevan and James met for the first time in February 2020, just months before Lola's murder when he sent her a friend request on Facebook, Wales Online reports. After exchanging messages, they met in person and Bevan who was basically still a stranger had moved into the family home within a matter of days.
