Father should have known of obese girl’s plight, manslaughter trial told

Alan Titford on trial over death in ‘horrific circumstances’ of his 16-year-old daughter Kaylea in Wales

A man has gone on trial accused of manslaughter after his disabled teenage daughter became so obese that she died in “truly horrific circumstances” weighing 146kg (22st 13lbs).

By the time of her death in October 2020, Kaylea Titford, who had spina bifida, was “living in conditions unfit for any animal let alone a vulnerable 16-year-old girl who depended entirely on others for her care”, a jury at Mold crown court heard.
