A mother and father who killed their morbidly obese daughter with "shocking and prolonged neglect over lockdown" have had their jail sentences increased at the Court of Appeal.

Kaylea Titford, 16, was found in conditions described as "unfit for any animal", in soiled clothing and bed linen, following her death at the family home in Newtown, Powys, in October 2020.

Her father Alun Titford was jailed for seven years and six months, while her mother Sarah Lloyd-Jones was imprisoned for six years following convictions for manslaughter by gross negligence.

But the pair will now spend longer behind bars after judges at the Court of Appeal increased their terms.

Lloyd-Jones watched by videolink from prison, but Titford was not present as their sentences were increased to eight years and 10 years respectively by Lord Justice Popplewell, sitting with Mrs Justice McGowan and His Honour Judge Bate.

Lord Justice Popplewell said: "The circumstances can only be categorised as extreme, Kaylea was living in unimaginable squalor."
