🤯 Shocking news from Swansea Crown Court. Rhydian Jamieson, who shockingly tried to end his baby girl’s life, now faces 35 years behind bars. In a moment of rage, he threw his infant daughter at a TV, leaving her with devastating injuries. He then hid her under a duvet and shockingly left the scene. The family arrived to find the poor child in grave condition, leading to a rush to hospital where it was confirmed she suffered bleeding on the brain, a fractured skull, and more.
The court heard Jamieson had contacted friends online to say he’d killed his daughter, shockingly refusing to seek medical help. His lawyer attempted to withdraw his guilty plea, but it was denied.
The baby’s mother expressed her anguish in a heart-wrenching statement, stating she’ll never understand his actions. “You’re nothing but a spiteful, disgusting person,” she told the court. Family members called him a “monster” and a “pathetic man-child.”
Jamieson didn’t even show up for his sentencing, refusing to cooperate with any pre-sentence procedures. Judge Paul Thomas KC criticised his lack of courage and remorse.
Despite a guilty plea, Jamieson seemed consumed by self-pity rather than the gravity of his actions. With a discount for his plea, he must serve two-thirds of his sentence before parole eligibility.
Dyfed-Powys Police commended the family’s resilience during the investigation, highlighting their extraordinary strength during this traumatic time.
It’s a difficult update to stomach, but one that highlights the importance of safeguarding the most vulnerable among us.
