Lola’s mother, Sinead James, was found guilty of causing or allowing her daughter’s death and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Bevan inflicted “catastrophic” brain injuries on Lola at their home in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in the early hours of July 17, 2020. She died in hospital four days later.
