Brutal Killing of Toddler Lola James: Killer and Mother Sentenced

Toddler Lola James died after a “sustained, deliberate and very violent attack” in July 2020 while under the care of Kyle Bevan.

Mother and Killer Both Face Justice

Lola’s mother, Sinead James, was sentenced to six years in prison for causing or allowing her daughter’s death. Bevan, who inflicted injuries on Lola in the months leading up to her death, showed no remorse during the trial.

Grandmother’s Heartbreaking Plea

“Look at me, Kyle. There isn’t a single moment of any day that I don’t think of Lola,” said Nicola James, Lola’s grandmother, before sentencing.

“Lola was nearly three when she was killed. She had her whole life ahead of her.

“She’ll never grow up, never get old, Kyle. You took the young, innocent life of my granddaughter. You killed my Lola and you have broken her.”
