Kaylea Titford: Parents’ jail terms increased for neglect death

William Emlyn Jones KC, representing the attorney general’s office, said: “By virtue of the combination of the duration of the neglect, the nature of the victim’s prolonged suffering, the extent of the victim’s vulnerability and absolute dependence on her parents for care, and ultimately, the appalling conditions in which she was left to live and ultimately die, this is an offence which falls into the definition of extreme”.
