Kynan Dawes broke down as he described the call from his sister
Kiena Dawes made a desperate Facetime call to her brother, "screaming and covered in blood", following an attack by her partner Ryan Wellings, a court heard.
"She said Ryan was going to f***ing kill her and I needed to get there to help. He had just run out of the building. He had knocked her out and she had woke up to her nine-month-old little baby on the sofa. He'd knocked her out, beat her up." She had "fought hard", but "slowly, they tortured me, till there was nothing left", she said. Wellings denies ABH, coercive control and manslaughter at Preston Crown Court. The trial continues.Here are some groups you can contact:Childline: Phone 0800 1111. Calls are free and won't show up on your bill.
