An abusive boyfriend who subjected his vulnerable partner to two years of assault and domestic abuse has been jailed, after being cleared of her manslaughter earlier this week.
Ryan Wellings, 30, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison but was cleared of the unlawful killing of Kiena Dawes, who left a suicide note calling her partner a “monster” who had “killed me”. Wellings was seen smiling as he left the dock following his sentencing.
