A court has heard how a morbidly obese teenage girl was left to have maggots feed on her body for two full days.
Kaylea Titford, 16, lived in conditions ‘unfit for any animal’ before her death, it’s alleged
Forensic entomologist Amoret Whitaker examined some of the maggots and looked at photos of the room Kaylea was discovered in. ‘If the larvae were developing on the body whilst it was still alive, obviously the temperature would be much hotter because the human body temperature is quite warm’, she said.She added: ‘My estimate was 48 hours as the minimum time that they had been feeding on the body and in the bedding.’
A ‘chronic breakdown or ulceration’ of the heel of her foot could be seen, which would have ‘a strong pungent smell that in a clinical environment would fill the room’.
