Christopher Hotten QC prosecutes baby murder

Tyler Vallance, 21, Redditch, has pleaded guilty to killing his two-month old daughter, Isabella Vallance, on 12^th December 2012.

He also pleaded guilty to a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.

Christopher Hotten QC prosecuting said: ‘We are all of the view that we accept those pleas’. He said that although there were two charges, it was likely that ‘each occurred over a short period of time in a momentary loss of control by somebody with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Tourettes.’

Separately, Jessica Wiggins, Isabella’s mother, will face a trial starting 24^th June for alleged child cruelty between 5^th October and 8^th December 2012 and causing or allowing the death of Isabella.
