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

Judge Slams Brutal Killer

Bevan received a harsh sentence for the horrific death of little Lola. The court revealed he inflicted injuries on the toddler in the months leading up to her death and showed zero remorse.

Mother Also Jailed

Lola’s mother, Sinead James, wasn’t spared justice. She was handed six years in prison for causing or allowing her daughter’s death, a grim end for a failing parent.

Grandmother’s Heartbreaking Plea

“Look at me Kyle, there isn’t a single moment of any day that I don’t think of Lola,” pleaded 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 family.”

This tragedy has left a family shattered and a community in shock.
