A father's violent outburst has condemned his infant daughter to a lifetime of severe disability after he picked her up and threw her against a television in a single, brutal moment of rage. Rhydian Lynne Rhys Jamieson, 28, appeared at Swansea Crown Court, where he was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the attempted murder of his own daughter in what prosecutors described as a 'fit of uncontrolled temper'.
The baby, who cannot be named for legal reasons, survived but suffered catastrophic and irreversible injuries that will require round-the-clock care for the rest of her life. The case stems from events on the evening of 15 January 2025 at a home in Y Ferwig, Ceredigion, where Jamieson had been left in the sole care of his daughter. Officers from Dyfed-Powys Police were called to the address just before 22:15 after concerns were raised about the welfare of an infant. She was taken to a hospital in a critical condition and has since been diagnosed with profound, life-altering brain damage.
