Baby’s Tragic End in Abuse Case
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
A chilling case of infant abuse and murder unfolds as Jamie Varley is convicted of killing 13-month-old Preston, whom he allegedly drowned — but evidence proves the baby was dry and suffered 40 brutal injuries. Varley, who treated the child like a possession, also faces charges for sexual assault and child cruelty, while his partner John McGowan-Fazakerley was convicted for enabling the abuse and assault. Preston, adopted just months before his death, had already endured nine months in foster care due to his mother’s criminal history. Sentencing looms as the jury who convicted them sits in court — a harrowing reminder of the depths of neglect and violence that can unfold in the most vulnerable lives.
