Swansea Crown Court heard during Titford's trial that the teenager weighed 22st 13lb, with a BMI of 70, at the time of her death in October 2020. She sent messages begging for help, telling him in one: 'I'm absolutely exhausted, I can't cope working and doing everything. Removals worker Titford, who had denied manslaughter by gross negligence, told jurors during his trial he had let his daughter down so badly because he was 'lazy', leaving his partner to look after her.Ĭare worker Lloyd-Jones, who had six children with Titford, had previously admitted the same charge. Lord Justice Popplewell said Kaylea was in 'very considerable pain, misery and distress', and in an 'utterly degrading' situation. ![]() Mr Emlyn Jones said the original sentences were 'unduly lenient', concluding they failed to reflect 'culpability, the seriousness of the offending, and the gravity of the aggravating features'. Lloyd-Jones, watching via video-link, was unmoved as her jail term was increased to eight years, while Titford was not present to hear his sentence rise to ten years. Lewis Power KC and David Elias KC, representing Lloyd-Jones and Titford respectively, argued the original sentences were 'well placed'. ![]()
