The Tragic Life Of Preston Davey: “A Tragedy Waiting to Happen”
About this episode
This episode discusses the tragic circumstances surrounding Preston Davey's death and the legal implications involving Jamie Varley and John McGowan Fazakerly.
Preston Davey was in “peril at the hands of Jamie Varley” and John McGowan Fazakerly knew it - that’s what Peter Wright KC told the jury in this episode of the podcast with Caroline and Liz. As he closed his case, the prosecutor said Preston’s death was a “tragedy waiting to happen” - he said Jamie Varley had a sexual interest in children and he subjected Preston to a “litany of physical and psychological abuse” - and John McGowan Fazakerly could have foreseen what would happen. The danger Preston was in, Mr Wright said, was “blindingly obvious”.
