A post-mortem examination revealed extensive traumatic injuries, including fractures in both wrists and a complex pelvic fracture, with the cause of death determined as a bone marrow embolism caused by skeletal trauma.

Prosecutor Sally Howes KC stated that Isabella had severe bruising and was cold to the touch when found, and police noted a 'very strong smell' upon arrival.

After her death, Gleason-Mitchell and Jeff allegedly carried Isabella's corpse around for three days, covering her with a hoodie and using a pushchair.

CCTV footage showed the couple using Isabella's body to accompany them on shopping trips, including purchases of gaming equipment.

Gleason-Mitchell is accused of allowing her daughter's death to happen by failing to intervene or seek help during the abuse.

The trial is expected to last between six to eight weeks as the court examines the circumstances surrounding Isabella's tragic death.

Her lifeless body was discovered on June 30, 2023, concealed under blankets in a shower at a temporary housing unit in Ipswich.

Isabella is believed to have died on June 26, 2023, following a regime of escalating brutality from Jeff, which included physical abuse.

Prosecutors described Isabella as a previously healthy child before her mother's relationship with Scott Jeff led to increasing violence.

The couple planned to bury Isabella's body, telling others they left her in the bathroom while shopping.

Scott Jeff has pleaded not guilty to all charges, while Gleason-Mitchell has admitted to causing or allowing her daughter's death but denies murder.

Isabella Rose Wheildon, a two-year-old girl, died after enduring severe abuse from her mother, Chelsea Gleason-Mitchell, and her partner, Scott Jeff.
