WARNING. Distressing content. Ryan Wellings drank Prosecco and sang about his manslaughter charge after his abused ex took her own life
This is the shocking moment Kiena Dawes' twisted abuser rapped about her death and swigged prosecco in a sick video.
The 30-year-old thug then growls: " you’d better take the blame for abandoning your daughter and going off to Greece. You're a f***ing slag." Wellings was found not guilty of killing Kiena after denying manslaughter, but was convicted of assault and guilty of controlling and coercive behaviour towards her. During his trial at Preston Crown Court, Wellings told the jury he had recorded and uploaded the video to Facebook.
The six-week trial heard that almost from the beginning of their relationship Wellings repeatedly subjected Kiena to controlling and coercive behaviour, abuse and violence over a prolonged period to "grind" her down. She had been diagnosed with an emotionally unstable personality disorder – resulting in increased impulsivity, poor self-esteem and difficulty in relationships.
She said she suffered regular violence from Wellings and threats, including using a drill on her teeth and acid to disfigure her. On the day she died, Kiena left her baby daughter, still in her car seat, at a friend’s house.
