Vigil for Preston Davey on His Fourth Birthday

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Tonight, a heartfelt vigil honors Preston Davey on what would have been his fourth birthday — a baby tragically killed just thirteen months old. The man entrusted with his care, teacher Jamie Varley, was convicted of murder and sexual assault. His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, was found guilty of allowing Preston’s death and cruelty. Before moving in, Preston was a joyful, thriving infant — a stark contrast to the abuse he suffered. The community gathers at Preston Flag Market at 8 PM with candles, bubbles, and teddies — or light one at home — as sentencing looms for both men on June 18th.
