Maya Chappell's stepfather, Michael Daymond, denies murdering the two-year-old in September 2022.
The murder of a two-year-old girl by her stepfather was the culmination of weeks of abuse, a court has heard.
In his opening statement to jurors, Benjamin Nolan KC, said, in the weeks before Maya's death, other relatives saw multiple bruises on the two year old, and noted a change in her behaviour and mood - but the couple "came up with excuses, false explanations and lies to disguise what was happening".He said: "Her death was sadly not a one-off event, but the culmination of increasingly frequent assaults.
During the morning, Mr Daymond's stepfather visited and noticed Maya "did not seem to want to be anywhere near" Mr Daymond, the court heard. Mr Nolan said it was his expectation that Mr Daymond would deny causing any harm to Maya, and would claim her fatal injuries were caused by her "accidentally" falling out of bed and hitting her head on a bedside cabinet.
