Father’s Testimony in Baby’s Tragic Death

John McGowan-Fazakerley, accused in the death of his adopted son Preston Davey, testified he would’ve taken the baby and left if he’d sensed danger — but claimed he never saw anything alarming in Varley’s behavior. The infant, just 13 months old, died in critical condition after being brought to the hospital on July 27th. McGowan-Fazakerley said Varley bonded quickly with Preston and handled all his needs, and that he never heard Varley mention needing antidepressants — which he said would’ve prompted him to involve social services. He insisted he never felt Preston was at risk and admitted he doesn’t know what happened on the fatal day. Varley faces murder and child cruelty charges, while McGowan-Fazakerley is charged with causing or allowing a child’s death — both men deny all accusations.
