Parents jailed for neglecting obese teen daughter

Kaylea Titford, 16, was morbidly obese when she was found dead by paramedics at her home in Newtown, Powys, in October 2020.

The judge Mr Justice Griffiths said "by the time of her death she was lying in her own filth surrounded by flies that bothered her and maggots that fed on her".

Sarah Lloyd-Jones, Kaylea's mother, has been sentenced to six years in prison, and Alun Titford, Kaylea's father, to seven years.
