A father has been found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter and is facing jail after the body of his morbidly obese teenage daughter was found in squalor. Kaylea Titford died at her family home in Newtown, Powys, Wales in October 2020.
READ MORE: Inside house where 'evil' rapist David Carrick attacked his victims and locked them in cupboards Emergency service workers who attended the scene said they could smell "rotting" coming from her room. The jury heard how maggots were found, which were thought to have been feeding on her body.
The prosecution alleged that Kaylea had not used her wheelchair since the start of lockdown as it was too small for her. Titford claimed he had seen her in the kitchen of the house in her wheelchair during that period, despite telling police in an interview that he had not seen her out of bed. In cross-examination Titford accepted he was as much to blame for Kaylea’s death as her mother. He was released on bail ahead of his sentencing but was warned by the judge he faces prison.
