Convicted: The Tragic Death of Baby Preston

A jury convicted Jamie Varley of murdering 13-month-old Preston Davey, whose death the prosecution claims was caused by smothering. Preston, adopted by Varley and his partner John McGowan-Fazakerley, was born to Sarah Davey — a convicted murderer who, at just 14, tortured and killed an elderly woman in 1998. Davey, now serving multiple prison terms after releases and recalls, gave birth to Preston while incarcerated. After just five days, Preston was placed with foster carers before adoption. He was hospitalized unresponsive by Varley and McGowan-Fazakerley, where medics battled for nearly an hour before he died. The conviction marks a chilling chapter in a case steeped in tragedy and the tangled past of the baby’s birth mother. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
