In May 2023, after their relationship ended, she got in touch with Jeff once again. Jeff and Gleason-Mitchell made the decision to take Isabella on a vacation to the Norfolk coast.
Where they first slept in hotels before spending four nights in a tent on the beach at Caister before starting to look for municipal housing.
The judge said that Isabella sometimes wet herself and that Jeff took over her toilet training because he “couldn’t tolerate such accidents and began punishing her when they occurred.”
Despite having broken arms and a later “in effect shattered” pelvis, he said that her injuries were hidden by a puffer jacket and sunglasses.
According to the court, Jeff either “kicked her between her legs with enormous force” or stomped on her, causing a pelvic injury that led to her death a few hours later.
According to the medical record, she died from “bone marrow embolism caused by skeletal trauma.” After an earlier trial, Jeff, who had no known residence, was found guilty despite having denied killing her.
In addition, he was convicted of two charges of child abuse. At a previous hearing, Gleason-Mitchell, who does not have a known residence, entered a guilty plea to two charges of child abuse and causing or permitting the death of a child.
