“HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?” — New Scrutiny Begins After Baby Preston’s Murder
Preston Davey was only 13 months old when his short life ended after months of horrific abuse. His killer, Jamie Varley, will spend the rest of his life behind bars, while his partner John McGowan-Fazakerley was sentenced to 25 years.

The question remains: Were warning signs missed?
