The Case of Lola James

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Wale to discuss the tragic case of Lola James, a toddler from Haverfordwest who at the time of our story, was living with her mother, Sinead James, and her mother's boyfriend, Kyle Bevan. On July 17th, 2020 (into the early morning hours of the 18th), Kyle beat little Lola near death, documenting the abuse of his cell phone. Lola passed away at the hospital just days later. Meanwhile, Kyle claimed that the family dog, Jessie, tripped Lola, causing her to tumble down the stairs. This false accusation caused Jessie to be put to sleep, and it would be almost three years before justice would be served.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/25/lola-james-murderer-kyle-bevan-jailed https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/R-v-Bevan-and-James-sentencing-260423.pdf https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65384347 https://www.the-sun.com/news/7767765/inside-smelly-cluttered-home-where-toddler-killed/ https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65052705 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/04/mother-and-partner-convicted-over-death-of-lola-james-two-in-wales https://news.sky.com/story/lola-james-aberystwyth-man-found-guilty-of-murdering-partners-two-year-old-daughter-in-pembrokeshire-12844870 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12012877/Lola-James-little-girl-let-mother-failed-save-murderer.html https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64906521 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-bill-2020-factsheets/domestic-violence-disclosure-scheme-factsheet#:~:text=The%20Domestic%20Violence%20Disclosure%20Scheme,DVDS%20is%20based%20into%20statute. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64890493 https://www.cps.gov.uk/cymruwales/news/couple-sentenced-over-toddlers-death https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gran-tragic-lola-james-meant-29662856 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-accused-murdering-toddler-told-29528007 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c72j7gn3nzro https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/uk-news/tragic-lola-james-2-dies-18723341 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65031912 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-wales-65155793 https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2020-08-05/father-pays-emotional-tribute-to-two-year-old-daughter-whose-life-was-snatched-away-after-incident-in-haverfordwest https://www.westerntelegraph.co.uk/news/18721211.funeral-young-girl-died-takes-place-today/ https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/haverfordwest-lola-james-police-arrest-18649812 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64987578 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64939381 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65470146 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65101686 https://www.facebook.com/kyle.bevan.35 https://www.facebook.com/sineaddlouise.james https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-adds-stranger-facebook-five-29660503 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11937439/Mother-monster-boyfriend-guilty-death-two-year-old-girl.html https://metro.co.uk/video/999-call-police-footage-trial-death-two-year-old-lola-james-2912071/ https://news.sky.com/video/lola-james-so-loved-and-so-missed-father-of-two-year-old-pays-tribute-12849785 https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/case-reviews/recently-published-case-reviews/
