Newcastle Emlyn father jailed for 35 years after throwing his baby at a TV in shocking attack
A man from Cwm Cou near Newcastle Emlyn has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after admitting the attempted murder of his infant daughter. The attack happened on 15 January 2025, when he was left alone with the baby for less than half an hour at a house in Y Ferwig.
Attack happened in minutes after father was left alone with baby
Police told Swansea Crown Court that Rhydian Lyn Rhys Jamieson “snapped” before throwing the child at a TV, placing her under a blanket and fleeing the house. He then sent a series of disturbing Snapchat messages and voice notes to friends and the baby’s mother, claiming he had killed the child and saying he was “finished”.
The baby’s mother rushed home after receiving the messages and found her daughter face‑down on a bed under a blanket. The child was breathing but had visible injuries and was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.
Officers who searched the room found the TV on the floor, blood stains on bedding and the baby’s clothing discarded nearby. Jamieson was arrested less than 30 minutes after the first 999 call. While being taken into custody, he told officers he could not believe he had tried to kill his daughter.
He later pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was sentenced today at Swansea Crown Court.
Mother describes ‘unimaginable’ impact on her daughter’s future
The baby’s mother said:
“What has happened has completely changed my life and my daughter’s life forever, as well as having a huge impact on my whole family.”
She told the court she now lived with daily fear about her daughter’s long‑term health, with medical experts still unable to say whether the child will ever walk, talk or live independently.
She added:
“Instead of enjoying my daughter’s first year of life, I now spend every day worrying about what the future holds. I feel robbed of the chance to just be a normal young mum.”
Police condemn ‘appalling act of violence’
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Williams, Dyfed‑Powys Police, said:
“This was an appalling act of violence towards a defenceless baby – his own daughter – who had been left in Jamieson’s care.”
He said the family had shown “remarkable strength” throughout the investigation and praised the officers who worked on the case.
Jamieson will serve 35 years in prison.

GPS tag helps police catch £12,500 tool thief across Carmarthenshire and Powys
Aston Amos, 35, of Bewdley, and Robbie Bate, 27, of Stourport‑on‑Severn, admitted stealing tools worth more than £12,500 from five vehicles during overnight raids in July.
Raids across two counties leave tradesmen out of work
Dyfed‑Powys Police received reports of break‑ins in Brecon and Builth Wells on 17 July, followed by further thefts in Newcastle Emlyn and Llandysul on 24 July. Court documents show the stolen items included a chainsaw worth around £500, roofing tools valued at £1,500, and other equipment worth thousands of pounds. The damage and loss left several tradesmen unable to work.
Investigators linked the crimes to an Audi A4 seen in each area. Hotel records later showed Bate had checked into accommodation in St Clears using the car’s registration number. Amos, meanwhile, was wearing a GPS monitoring tag at the time. Location data placed him at the scene of each theft. When questioned, he told officers: “You have put me in the area. That’s all you have done, put me in the area,” and even claimed never to have heard of Carmarthenshire.
Police seized the Audi and recovered some of the stolen tools before requesting assistance from West Mercia Police to arrest the pair.
Court hears of past convictions as sentences handed down
At Swansea Crown Court on 14 November, Amos was jailed for nine months, consecutive to a sentence he was already serving. Bate received a nine‑month sentence suspended for two years, along with a 12‑week curfew, 160 hours of unpaid work, and 20 rehabilitation activity days. The court heard Amos had 15 previous convictions for 24 offences, while Bate had eight previous convictions for 22 offences.
Detective Constable Carl Thomas, who led the case, said:
“This was a strong investigation led by North Ceredigion CID with a huge amount of support from a number of departments across the force to apprehend two travelling criminals.
Amos and Bate came into the Dyfed‑Powys area with the aim of targeting vans that might contain valuable tools, working their way through two counties to acquire a vast number of items.
Thankfully we have been able to recoup some of the stolen items for the victims, however these thefts will still have caused a loss of income and inconvenience for those affected.”

The water is low.
Hardly any rain for weeks, in February, in #WestWales.
Adding a #ClimateDiary hashtag, a proposal by @pvonhellermannn to highlight the everyday observations.
Also adding locations.
