Mum and stepdad jailed over fatal attack on two-year-old daughter

A stepdad who murdered a two-year-old girl after subjecting her to a brutal assault was jailed for at least 28 years. Kyle Bevan, 31, inflicted catastrophic brain injuries on toddler Lola James during an attack in July 2020. Lola's mother Sinead James, 30, was sentenced to six years for causing or allowing her daughter's death at her home in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. The pair denied the charges against them but were convicted after a trial at Swansea Crown Court. Passing sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice Griffiths, said Lola had died following a "sustained, deliberate and very violent attack" at the hands of Bevan. He added: "I am sure that Kyle Bevan did this as an exercise of power. An assertion of superiority over the only person he could feel superior to - a helpless child. "He has no remorse at all, even now. At the time, he did not even simulate sadness about Lola's injuries and critical condition when everyone around him was distraught." He said James had prioritised the relationship with Kyle Bevan, from Aberystwyth over concern for her children.
