A FECKLESS father used an Alexa device to monitor his five-year-old girl at home alone while he went to the pub.
A court heard that he “willingly left his daughter at home” because he could see her via a phone app linked to the gadget’s camera.
But the 27-year-old was found out after trying to throttle his girlfriend at the end of the night.
He told police who arrested him he had left his daughter at home in Builth Wells, Powys, but had a camera app to monitor her.
Prosecutors told JPs in Llandrindod Wells, Powys, that the dad and his partner had known each other for around seven months when they went to the pub together on a Saturday night in August last year.

The court was told “they went to a number of pubs and she says she can’t remember anything until he was strangling her”.
The man, who cannot be named to protect his daughter, admitted trying to strangle his partner and child neglect.
Sentencing was adjourned until next month.
He cannot contact the woman and has only supervised contact with his child.
