Heartbreaking news from Wrexham: Bernita and Alan Davies have admitted to causing the death of their vulnerable daughter, Steffie Davies. The couple, from Bluebell Estate, Pandy, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the tragic incident that occurred between May 2022 and May 2023.
During a recent hearing at Mold Crown Court, it was revealed that the Davies couple were charged with causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult—a charge that carries a heavy weight. The court heard that although there was a “significant risk of serious harm,” Bernita and Alan Davies failed to protect Steffie from it, leading to her untimely death in May 2023.
The prosecution accepted their guilty pleas, which potentially opens the door for a reduced sentence, as noted by the judge. However, both individuals have been reminded that this remains a serious matter and they must prepare for all outcomes when they return to court for sentencing in March.
