A dad who was found guilty of killing his teenage daughter texted her "stop it'" as she screamed upstairs on the night she died alone.
Schoolgirl Taylea Titford, 16, was found abandoned in conditions "unfit for any animal", wrapped in "severely soiled" clothing and bed linen and surrounded by maggots following her death at the family home in Newton, Powys on October 2020. The teenager's parents, Sarah Lloyd-Jones, 40, and Alun Titford, 45, were sentenced at Swansea Crown Court.
At the time of her death, Kaylea weighed 22st 13lbs with a BMI of 70. Her parents had allowed her weight to soar and her health to deteriorate as they left her alone in her adapted room. Shortly before Kaylea died, Titford heard her screaming and instead of checking on her, he texted her to stop.
