Parents' 'shocking neglect' laid bare as girl's body found covered in maggots

A mum and dad whose daughter's body was found in a bedroom "unfit for an animal" have been jailed for their "shocking and prolonged neglect".

The body of Kaylea Titford, 16, was found covered in maggots and flies, in soiled clothing and bed linen, following her death at the family home in Newtown, Powys, in October 2020. The teenager's parents were sentenced at Swansea Crown Court by Mr Justice Griffiths.

Sarah Lloyd-Jones, 40, was imprisoned for six years while Alun Titford, 45, was told he would spend seven years and six months behind bars. Kaylea weighed 22st 13lb, with a BMI of 70, at the time of her death.
