"Kaylee was put to bed some time around 7pm, while the two of you went to have sex in Nicola Priest’s bedroom. But like many children her age, Kaylee did not want to go to bed, but to stay up and play," Justice Foxton was quoted by Manchester Evening News as saying. "No doubt irritated by Kaylee crying, asking to be let out, it interrupted the two of you when you wanted to have sex," he added.

The judge also observed that Kaylee-Jayde's life would have been saved if any of the convicts had called for medical assistance. The kid sustained historical injuries including broken ribs, lower leg fractures and a broken sternum, medical examination had shown. The court sent Nicola in jail for 15 years and her boyfriend for 14 years.

Days before Kaylee-Jayde's death, Nicola had sent a text to Redfern saying: "I’m gonna kill her… because she keeps leaving the living room or going in the kitchen, so I’ve paled (hit) her one and smacked her for shitting in her nappy." Redfern replied: "Good – give her one from me." Nicola texted back: "I will, babe."
