This is the face of Kyle Bevan, who battered his partner's toddler to death in 2020 and casually hid her Frozen hoodie to cover his tracks. Bevan had only been part of two year old Lola James' life for a matter of months when he subjected to her to unimaginable violence, inflicting catastrophic brain injuries and leaving her body covered in more than 100 bruises, puncture wounds, and abrasions.
On Tuesday, April 25 Bevan was sentenced to 28 years in jail for his part in the brutal attack in July 2020 in Haverfordwest. The judge saying the assault was "sustained, deliberate, and very violent" and an "exercise of power" over "the only person he could feel superior to" - a helpless child.
The judge added that Bevan had shown no remorse for what he had done and that he was sure it was the culmination of months of physical child abuse of Lola, described as a "beautiful, bright, busy" little girl who was just a few months shy of of her third birthday. Lola's mum Sinead Jamed, who had only been in a relationship with Bevan for a few months when he carried out the savage attack, was sentenced to six years in prison for allowing or causing the death of a child.
