Adoptive Father Convicted of Murder

A teacher and his partner, both convicted in a harrowing courtroom drama, were found guilty of murdering a 13-month-old boy they were adopting — a child who suffered 40 non-accidental injuries, including signs of sexual abuse, before dying in their care. The case, which unfolded over seven weeks at Preston Crown Court, shocked the nation as the baby, Preston Davey, had been placed with the couple just months earlier. Despite multiple hospital visits for severe symptoms, the couple’s claims — including Varley’s story of a bath accident — crumbled under evidence. The verdicts, met with raw emotion from the child’s family, mark one of the most chilling adoption abuse cases in recent memory.
