Background of the Case
Bevan was convicted at Swansea Crown Court on April 4, 2023, for killing his two-year-old stepdaughter, Lola James. He received a life sentence with a minimum term of 28 years.
Lola’s mother, Sinead James, was also found guilty of causing or allowing her daughter's death and sentenced to six years in prison.
"Bevan inflicted 'catastrophic' brain injuries on Lola at the family home in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in the early hours of July 17, 2020, and she died in hospital four days later."
Bevan denied harming Lola, claiming the family dog pushed her down the stairs. The court heard that Bevan and James met on Facebook in February 2020, and Bevan moved into the family home within days.
