Baby Preston's Tragic End and Justice Served
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
A thirteen-month-old baby named Preston was brutally abused and murdered by Jamie Varley, who treated him like a “personal plaything,” and his partner John McGowan-Fazakerley, who participated in a sexual attack just days before his death. Varley received a whole life sentence, while McGowan-Fazakerley got 25 years for failing to protect the child. Preston’s health deteriorated rapidly after being placed with them at nine months, with doctors noticing unexplained injuries Varley blamed on toys and clumsiness. The final attack ended in Preston’s death on July 27, 2023; a postmortem revealed 40 injuries, including signs of sexual assault. The judge called it “utmost gravity,” ensuring Varley will never walk free and holding McGowan-Fazakerley accountable for his negligence.
