A British couple found guilty last year of killing their two month old daughter in Torrevieja have had their sentences confirmed by the Valencia High Court.
Lucía Waller, the daughter of Caria Marie Devlin and Darryl Waller, died on March 17 2008 as a result of two fractures in her skull from an accidental fall. The original guilty ruling from the Alicante provincial court considered that the child had been beaten by her parents over at least the previous two weeks and was extremely undernourished.
The Levante newspaper reports that neither parent took their daughter to a doctor after the fall, despite ‘knowing that she would probably die’.
They were each sentenced to 17 and a half years in prison, which has now been confirmed by the Valencia High Court.
