Parents Accused of Neglecting Three-Year-Old Daughter’s Nutrition

A couple, Jaskiret Singh Uppal and Manpreet Jatana, face trial at the Old Bailey in January 2027 for the murder of their three-year-old daughter, Penelope Chandle, who was found emaciated and bruised, having died from malnutrition. The prosecution alleges the parents mistreated and deliberately starved her, failing to provide necessary care or register her birth. They also face additional charges of manslaughter and child cruelty. The case draws parallels to another tragic incident involving a boy starved on a vegan diet, highlighting ongoing concerns about child welfare.
