Kaylea Titford’s parents jailed after obese daughter died in conditions ‘unfit for any animal’

A mother and father who killed their morbidly obese daughter after leaving her bed-ridden in squalor have been jailed.

Kaylea Titford, 16, was found in conditions described as “unfit for any animal” following her death at the family home in Powys, Wales, in October 2020.

Sarah Lloyd-Jones, 40, was imprisoned for six years while Alun Titford, 45, was told he would spend seven years and six months behind bars.

Their sentencing hearing was the first in Wales to be filmed since the law was changed to allow cameras into crown courts last year.
