A MAN accused of murdering two-year-old Lola James from Haverfordwest, has been remanded into custody today (Apr 22).
Lola died in Hospital on July 21, 2020, four days after sustaining a severe head injury at her home address in Princess Royal Way, Haverfordwest.
30-year-old Kyle Bevan, appeared at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court this morning, charged with Lola’s murder.

Sinead James, 29, has been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child.
At the time of her death, Dan Thomas, Lola’s father paid tribute to his daughter in a statement released to the press he said: “From the very first time I met my beautiful daughter, Lola Patricia James, my heart was filled with such joy, a happiness i’d never felt before, an unconditional love and need to always protect her for the rest of her life.
“Not in a million years did I think her life would be snatched away from her in such a cruel way.
“All the things she never had chance to learn, see or say, and all the things I will never have chance to teach her – to write her name, ride a bike or drive a car.
“Lola, you have left a hole in the hearts of everyone you met. Your sparkly eyes and beautiful smile will be missed always.
“I would like to thank every doctor, nurse and healthcare assistant that not only helped Lola, but threw everything they had at her to try and save her life.
“To the staff at Noah’s Ark, Cardiff, you truly are amazing.
“Rest in peace has never been so meaningful to me, but rest now Lola, whilst Daddy seeks the justice you deserve.”
