Mom Who Killed 3-Year-Old for ‘Interrupting Her Having Sex’ Posts ‘Apology’

A 23-year-old woman from Solihull, England, was sentenced to 15 years in prison recently for killing her 3-year-old daughter. Nicola Priest was convicted after killing her daughter, Kylee-Jade, when the girl interrupted her while she was having sex with her boyfriend. Now Priest is raising eyebrows again after disturbing TikTok videos she made following Kaylee-Jade’s death have come to light.

Priest was sentenced early this month for her role in a horrifying incident that happened in August 2020.

The mom was living in an apartment in Birmingham, England, last year, the Daily Mail stated, when things took a terrible turn. At her sentencing hearing, attorney Justice Foxton summed up what happened that night between Priest, boyfriend 22-year-old Callum Redfern, and her daughter.

“On the evening of August 8, you, Redfern, went to Priest’s flat,” Foxton said. “The two of you went to have sex. Kaylee wanted to stay up and play. There is no direct evidence of what happened next.”

“Kaylee was sick more than once during the night as a result of the severe beating,” Foxton continued.

According to BBC News, after the alleged incident, Kaylee-Jade started vomiting.

“The vomiting was the result of the severe beating you were both responsible for inflicting on her,” Foxton said. “No doubt irritated by Kaylee crying, asking to be let out, it interrupted the two of you when you wanted to have sex.

“You lost your tempers and it is clear you were joint participants in that assault,” he added. “You both knew you had seriously injured Kaylee.”

He then accused Priest of not immediately seeking medical help.

“A prompt call could have saved Kaylee’s life,” he said. “You both lied repeatedly during interviews.”

Foxton said that the “severity” of Kaylee-Jade’s injuries made it clear “there was an intention to cause serious harm.”

“You and Redfern were equally responsible,” he charged. “You had ample opportunity to raise any concerns. Kaylee was very vulnerable and you were in a position of trust. You did nothing to summon help.”

After she was sentenced, Redfern’s father branded her an “evil mother” and said “she doesn’t deserve kids,” according to the Daily Mail. He also claimed that his son was misled by Priest and “got caught up in it.”

In one disturbing example of Priest’s cruelty, a text exchange was found from July 24 in which Priest wrote to Redfern that she was “gonna kill her [Kaylee-Jade] … because she keeps leaving the living room or going in the kitchen, so I’ve paled (hit) her one and smacked her for [dirtying] her nappy,” stated BBC News.

In another example, neighbors below Priest’s apartment head a loud banging right before Kaylee-Jade burst into tears. The neighbors claimed they could hear Priest say, “I’ll just say she fell off the bed.”

Things only got worse when Priest and Redfern got together. Police believe “the level of discipline she was subjected to became increasingly forceful and violent during Priest and Redfern’s relationship.”

Redfern’s father also claimed that Priest would sometimes refuse to change Kaylee-Jade’s diaper and would tell her “you can just stay in it” while she went outside to smoke.

The Daily Mail reported that footage caught by closed-circuit TV showed Priest and Kaylee-Jade just hours before the fatal incident in an elevator at their apartment complex. Priest seemed disinterested in Kaylee-Jade as they rode the elevator, checking her phone and the mirror but ignoring her little girl.

In court, Kaylee-Jade was described as a “happy child” who died from serious chest and abdominal injuries. But a medical examination conducted after her death found past injuries that indicated even more abuse, including broken ribs, lower leg fractures, and a broken sternum.

Experts likened the girl’s wounds at the time of her death as to those of a child hit by a car at 40 mph or from falling three stories onto a concrete floor, BBC News noted.

At the trial, both Priest and Redfern blamed each other for what happened that night.

On August 5, both were convicted of child manslaughter, with Priest receiving a 15-year sentence and Redfern receiving a 14-year sentence. Priest was also found guilty of child cruelty relating to previous injuries found on Kaylee-Jade’s body, but Redfern was cleared of that charge.

Priest will serve three years to be served concurrently for the child cruelty offense, and both must serve two-thirds of their jail terms before they can be considered for release.

Recently, a video posted onto TikTok has shed some shocking new light onto this horrifying case.

In the footage shared on the mom’s personal page a month after Kaylee-Jade’s death, it showed her hanging her head in shame and mouthing along to a song where she apologizes to her parents.

“I’m sorry mom and dad. I know I messed up bad,” she mouthed. “I should’ve done, should’ve done better.”

In other videos on the page, she paid tribute to her daughter, including one video where she wrote “I miss you. RIP my darling mommy loves you angel.”

Even her own relatives can’t forgive Priest for what happened.

“Everybody deserves the gift of life. Kaylee-Jayde deserved to show the world who she could have been and what greatness she could have brought to this world,” Kaylee-Jade’s grandmother, Debbie Windmill, told the Daily Mail.

“I could never stop staring at the smile on her beautiful face. I loved every moment watching her develop to nearly school age; preparing to buy my first grandchild her pre-school uniform was something that filled me with such happiness,” she added.

“I couldn’t wait to see her in it, but this opportunity was stolen from me in the most brutal of ways,” she continued. “Nanny will forever hold you in her heart.”

“This is a really horrific set of circumstances and I cannot imagine for one second what Kaylee-Jayde’s family must be going through,” Detective Inspector Adam Jobson said.

“They’ve lost their three-year-old family member at the hands of her own mother and Nicky Priest’s boyfriend, Callum. It is a grim picture,” he explained.

“I don’t think, sadly, we will ever fully know what has happened, we’ll never get that full picture, both have not admitted their own responsibility,” he continued.

“One thing is clear,” he said. “Nicky Priest has failed her daughter, she’s failed to protect her and she should be — being a mother to that little girl — the one person who should have been able to protect her.”
