Hopefully this helps with the timeline, the accuracy of the available reporting is inconsistent causing confusion.
Prosecution have demonstrated a pattern of neglect and hostility towards Isabelle weeks before her final collapse.
CCTV visually shows AW growing highly annoyed and verbally frustrated with her crying child limping around the home due to a broken leg. Rather than comforting her, AW snaps at the crying toddler, aggressively “What do you want?”
Richard Wright KC said “There are a lot of incidents of the two drinking and drugs being taken, and the prosecution say, unusual and sometimes aggressive behaviour being caught on CCTV” There were instances where Walker was getting “irritated” by Isabelle's behaviour. On one occasion Walker said her daughter was “behaving like a bleep”
On the 12th of September, Isabelle was in obvious pain, whimpering, screaming, and crying for her mother. The court heard that she had developed a bruise on her forehead and had started vomiting again. CCTV evidence showed AW repeatedly telling the toddler to “sit up!”
In the afternoon, AW messaged her mother to complain that Isabelle was throwing up again and that seeing her daughter like that was causing her “stress”, she requested that her mother bring her food, nappies, and 10 cans of Stella to “help her cope” Knowing her mother was coming to drop off the shopping, AW messaged HS trying to persuade him to meet her mother. AW reassured him in the text that her mum “won't bite” but, HS refused the interaction, and AW later claimed to her mother that he couldn't meet her because he suffered from severe “anxiety”
4.46pm A telephone recording captured the sound of a whimpering Isabelle lying on top of AW, she told the person on the other end of the line that her daughter “really isn't well”
5.30pm AW’s mother and stepfather arrived at the Hartington Close property to drop off the requested shopping and alcohol. Her mother Claire later stated it had become too upsetting to see her granddaughter in that deteriorating condition.
7pm AW was alone in the house with Isabelle a neighbour reported hearing a loud thud coming from the property.
9pm HS returned to the home. At this point, the couple began a heavy session of drinking and substance use.
The couple continued drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis from a bong late into the night and until 3am on September 13th, completely ignoring the toddler's ongoing medical distress.
AW called her mother and a friend (Sarah Ayre??) while heavily under the influence of alcohol. During these recorded calls, she aggressively insisted that she had been stabbed in her arm, chest, and leg during a separate incident where cannabis was allegedly stolen from her home. When challenged by the person on the other end of the line about her drinking, AW angrily denied that she was “making a drama” before lashing out around 2am and striking her kitchen cupboard doors. Sarah told the court AW’s speech sounded unusual, she was muttering her words, leading her to believe AW was “on something” at the time.
CCTV shows AW was highly agitated, dramatic, and focused entirely on her own historical grievances while Isabelle, was severely injured in the house. The home security footage actually captured her stabbing herself with a kitchen knife during the same time frame, while her boyfriend HS, smoked cannabis nearby.
AW did not leave the house during the hours leading up to her daughter’s collapse on September 13th. AW falsely claims she briefly left the house to visit a local shop & would wake Isabelle when HS returned the prosecution say this was a
2.53pm, AW messaged HS stating she intended to wake Isabelle up when he returned from the shops. She added that if she didn't wake the toddler now, Isabelle would be “up all night” Following this exchange, HS was the one captured on CCTV leaving the property permanently shortly after 3pm.
HS had been awake and in “sole care” of Isabelle during the morning while AW remained in bed upstairs. HS told AW that he had put the toddler down to sleep.
Isabelle was neither seen nor heard on the internal home CCTV during the morning September 13th. The prosecution highlighted the lack of presence to support their argument that Isabelle was already incapacitated or critically injured early in the day.
3pm HS left the property, internal CCTV and court records show that AW remained inside the house, completely failing to check on or help her dying daughter. However AW told her family that she checked on Isabelle every 10 minutes.
Within 10 minutes of her HS leaving the house at 3pm, AW’s primary focus was not providing medical care. Instead, she was running Google searches for why her toddler was bleeding.
3.15pm Internal CCTV captured AW walking up the stairs and speaking to herself, saying, “You're scaring me” She then ran another search for “What should I do if my child has blood in his stool”
3.20pm Rather than leaving the property to seek help or calling an ambulance, AW walked into the kitchen to smoke a cigarette!
4pm Still inside the property, AW called her stepfather instead of emergency services. Knowing her stepfather, Dan Ackroyd, was on his way, AW actively took the cannabis bong out of the kitchen and discarded it next to an outdoor bin to hide the drug use.
4.14pm Her stepfather arrived at the property, found the toddler unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs, and ordered AW to call 999.

not something I’d ever joke about with my stepdad. Maybe I’m just looking too much into it.
