Father jailed for 35 years after baby left with life-changing injuries
Rhydian Jamieson admitted attacking his infant daughter in a fit of temper, causing catastrophic brain damage and lifelong disabilities requiring ongoing care, prosecutors said.
- On Monday, Swansea Crown Court sentenced Rhydian Jamieson, 28, to 35 years after he admitted attempting to murder the infant.
- On January 15, police were called to a village in Ceredigion over concern for an infant's welfare, and Jamieson from Cwm Cou, Newcastle Emlyn, pleaded guilty last year.
- Court records show he snapped and flung the infant at a television set before family members found the baby bloodied with a fractured skull and irreversible brain damage.
- Judge Paul Thomas KC ordered that the infant will require life-long care and support, and Rhydian Jamieson must serve two thirds of the sentence before release eligibility with no unsupervised access to children.
- Judge Paul Thomas KC said Jamieson's attack was a fit of uncontrolled temper, he showed no remorse, fled, claimed wrongful charge, and left the baby's mother and family in turmoil.
