Two-year-old Lola James killed in 'extremely violent attack', court is told
A two-year-old girl was killed in an "extremely violent attack" by her mother's boyfriend, a court has heard.
Prosecutor Caroline Rees KC said Mr Bevan, who she said was prone to violent outbursts and was an amphetamine user, subjected Lola to a "brutal" assault while he was alone with her between the evening of July 16 and the morning of July 17.She said Mr Bevan claimed Lola's injuries were caused by her being pushed down the stairs by the family dog, but that the claim was a "deliberate lie to cover up his guilt".
Ms Rees said when paramedics arrived at the home they found Lola lying unconscious with a swollen and bruised face, and she also appeared to be wet.Investigators also noted that the bath was spotlessly clean despite the rest of the house being generally dirty. "We say that, rather than face up to that which he did to the little girl, Kyle Bevan immediately tried to save himself.
"It is the prosecution case that the injuries sustained by Lola are wholly inconsistent with an accidental injury, and show instead that she was the victim of what must have been a frenzied, brutal and violent attack at the hands of somebody she should have been able to trust."
