Following a “cruel campaign of violence and abuse” by her mother’s boyfriend, little Isabella Wheildon was discovered dead in a closed bathroom while taking a shower beneath blankets.
at an attempt to hide the murder before a drug and alcohol bender at the bar, her “spineless” mother Chelsea Gleason-Mitchell, 24, and her then-partner Scott Jeff, also 24, laughed while wheeling her corpse in a pushchair.
Jeff received a life sentence, with a minimum of 26 years, for the murder of the two-year-old today. After a seven-week trial.
At Ipswich Crown Court, Jeff, who did not have a permanent address, was found guilty despite his denials of the two-year-old’s murder.
Despite denying two charges of child maltreatment, the thug—who is not the girl’s father—was found guilty.
Mum Gleason-Mitchell, who had dated Jeff, was found not guilty of murder but entered a guilty plea to two charges of child maltreatment and causing or permitting the death of a child.
