The Tragic Life of Preston Davey: The Verdicts
About this episode
The episode discusses the tragic case of Preston Davey, detailing the court verdicts against his abusers.
Preston Davey was the victim of two sinister and wicked men, who “chose” him from an adoption website - then they both abused him and one of them murdered him. That’s what a jury have now decided. Jamie Varley and John McGowan-Fazakerly denied to the bitter end that they mistreated him, but the jury didn’t believe them. Today Caroline and Liz have got those verdicts in full and what happened as they were delivered - plus we can now bring you many of the details we haven’t been able to share up to now. Trigger warning - the details in this episode are distressing and relate to child abuse. The Trial is part of The Crime Desk.
