Crown prosecutor Sarah Farnden said the toddler suffered “excruciating pain” for days before dying.

“The little girl was so miserable and painful during that time, she couldn’t walk”the prosecutor said. “The little girl is dehydrated and weak, unable to eat and drink properly, may be vomiting. Perhaps she is delirious and unconscious before the heart stops and stops breathing.”

Judge David Jackson told the “devil” couple: “The failure of a sibling to perform parental duties after the girl was burned caused her death. It’s horrifying to see the suffering your daughter has to endure at your hand when it shouldn’t have happened. “
