A mother has been jailed for 15 years and her boyfriend for 14 for killing her three-year-old daughter because she was getting in the way when they wanted to have sex.
Kaylee-Jayde Priest was found dead with chest and abdominal injuries at the flat where she lived with her 23-year-old mother, Nicola Priest, on August 9 last year.
The child's mother rang 999 but a jury convicted Priest - along with her 22-year-old lover Callum Redfern - after hearing the youngster had been 'dead before the call was made'.
The mother was sentenced to 15 years for manslaughter and a three year concurrent sentence for child cruelty
Sentencing the pair, Mr Justice Foxton QC said: 'On the evening of August 8 you Redfern went to Priest's flat. The two of you went to have sex. Kaylee wanted to stay up and play. There is no direct evidence of what happened next.
'Kaylee was sick more than once during the night as a result of the severe beating. You lost your tempers and it is clear you were joint participants in that assault. You both knew you had seriously injured Kaylee.
'You, Priest did nothing to seek medical help. A prompt call could have saved Kaylee's life. You both lied repeatedly during interviews.
'From the severity of the injuries caused by the assault it is clear there was an intention to cause serious harm. The injuries were caused by a ferocious assault.
'You and Redfern were equally responsible. You had ample opportunity to raise any concerns. Kaylee was very vulnerable and you were in a position of trust. You did nothing to summon help.'The final moments leading up to the death of Kaylee-Jayde Priest were revealed in chilling CCTV footage.
