A evil step-father who tortured a toddler to death and who was jailed for 12 years in 2007 has now been RELEASED Bishop had admitted child cruelty and manslaughter and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to the two year old. At the trial prosecution said: “The little girl was systematically abused, tortured and ultimately killed. “When she died she was found to have 13 fractures to various parts of her body, a cigarette burn, crushing injuries to both her hands and numerous bruises to her head, body and limbs. “The doctor who examined her said she would have suffered intense and excruciating pain and significant disability. “Lois received no medical attention and neither of the defendants did anything to stop her nightmare.” The court heard that during one incident Bishop lifted the little girl’s leg onto a red-hot gas hob causing her severe burns to her left foot. The temperature of the gas hob was estimated at 150 degrees centigrade. Both Bishop and her mother claimed it was caused when she walked on boiling water accidentally spilled from the kettle. Bishop shook her so violently that she suffered a brain haemorrhage and died two days later. Bishop, a drug user, started torturing the little girl “almost immediately” after moving in with her mother Sarah in the summer of 2004. Lois was two years and three months old when she died on 8 November 2004, at the couple’s home on the Lansbury Park housing estate in Caerphilly. The court also heard the toddlers mother, Sarah Bishop, turned a blind eye to the abuse. She was subsequently given six years’ imprisonment after admitting child cruelty. She was released several years ago
